🧭
Volume and specialization matter more than proximity. A centre that treats spinal cord injury every week will usually serve you better than a general rehab closer to home. Before you choose, read how to choose a rehab facility — and see the common questions on CARF, Model Systems, and going out of state.

Scores are computed by SCI.help from CMS Care Compare (IRF Quality Reporting Program, public domain) across functional recovery, return to community and readmissions, and safety — blended with SCI patient volume, plus a bonus for SCI Model Systems and CARF Spinal Cord accreditation. Full methodology is on the Rehab Finder. This is an aid for comparison and advocacy — not medical advice, and not a government endorsement. Confirm details with the facility.
