| Function at discharge | 70 / 100 | 30% of the overall score |
| Safety and infection control | 55 / 100 | 35% of the overall score |

Three questions to ask this facility
- "How many spinal cord injury patients are on the unit right now?" The CMS figure above is a year old by the time it publishes.
- "What is your protocol for autonomic dysreflexia?" A specialized unit answers instantly. See the AD protocol.
- "Will I leave with the right wheelchair ordered?" Ask whether seating evaluation happens in-house.
The full list, and what the answers should sound like, is in choosing an SCI rehab facility and what to ask before discharge.

Where this data comes from
Facility data on this page is from CMS Care Compare — Inpatient Rehabilitation Facility (IRF) QRP, Provider Data Mar 2026, published by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services and processed 2026-06-08. CARF Spinal Cord System of Care status is from CARF's public provider directory. SCI Model System designation is from the federally funded SCI Model Systems program. The 100-point score is calculated by SCI.help; the full methodology and the underlying dataset are public.
A quality score is a starting point, not a recommendation. CMS measures cover all rehabilitation patients, not spinal cord injury specifically, and no public dataset captures how good a program is at SCI in particular. Use this to build a shortlist, then call and ask the questions above.
