Average Length of Stay - All Patients

Functional Independence
The FIM is a nationally recognized tool used by inpatient rehabilitation units to measure patients’ abilities to care for themselves. Areas measured include eating, grooming, bathing, toileting, communicating, getting around, and speaking and thinking skills. A higher FIM change score means more improvement. Our total FIM change for all patients is 30.4, which is higher than the regional and national comparisons of 25.2 and 27.2, respectively.

Discharge Destination
The discharge to community rate indicates the percentage of patients discharged to a community-based setting directly following their rehabilitation stay. Most of our patients return to a community-based setting at discharge. Approximately 80% of patients met their discharge setting goal, as determined by the patient, family and rehabilitation team.

* Discharge to community is defined as patients whose discharge destination was home, room and board, transitional living, intermediate care or assisted living residence.

We contact patients after discharge and invite them to regular focus groups and use that feedback to continuously improve our services. Of patients surveyed:

• 91% said their mobility was as good, or better, than at discharge from the rehabilitation unit
• 100% would recommend our rehabilitation unit to friends or family
