Context that affects how to read this rating

Kindred Hospital-Tarrant County is a Long-Term Care Hospital (LTCH) — a specialized facility for medically complex patients needing extended hospital stays, often involving prolonged mechanical ventilation, severe wounds, or complex IV antibiotic therapy. LTCHs do not receive a CMS Overall Hospital Star Rating because they are evaluated under the separate LTCH Quality Reporting Program (LTCH QRP). Headline LTCH outcomes emphasize ventilator liberation (weaning vent-dependent patients), spontaneous breathing trial compliance, discharge to community, and hospital-acquired infection rates.

Long-Term Care Hospital Quality Measures (LTCH QRP)

Kindred Hospital-Tarrant County is evaluated under the CMS Long-Term Care Hospital Quality Reporting Program. Because LTCH patients typically need extended hospitalization for complex medical issues — often ventilator weaning — the headline measures emphasize ventilator liberation, breathing-trial compliance, and discharge to community, alongside the standard post-acute infection, function, and readmission set.

Ventilator Liberation 58.6%
National median: 61.0% n = 85 Near national median

Percentage of ventilator-dependent patients who were weaned off the ventilator during their stay. Higher is better — this is the headline LTCH outcome since many LTCH patients arrive on prolonged mechanical ventilation.

Spontaneous Breathing Trial (Component 1) 99.4%
National median: 98.9% n = 163 Near national median

Percentage of ventilator-dependent patients who received a daily spontaneous breathing trial assessment. Higher is better — SBTs are evidence-based ventilator weaning protocol.

Spontaneous Breathing Trial (Component 2) 100.0%
National median: 100.0% n = 136 Near national median

Percentage of eligible patients who passed the SBT and were extubated within 24 hours. Higher is better.

Discharge to Community 15.0%
National median: 16.6% Worse than national median

Risk-standardized % of LTCH stays that ended at home. Higher is better.

Discharge Function Score 38.42
National median: 48.69 n = 199 Worse than national median

Risk-adjusted Section GG (self-care + mobility) score at discharge. Higher is better.

Change in Mobility 7.61
National median: 6.79 Better than national median

Risk-adjusted change in mobility scores during the LTCH stay. Higher is better — reflects mobility gains during rehabilitation.

Preventable Readmissions Post-Discharge (30 days) 24.07%
National median: 21.37% n = 96 Worse than national median

Risk-standardized % of LTCH stays followed by a preventable readmission to acute care within 30 days. Lower is better.

Pressure Ulcer / Skin Integrity 0.1%
National median: 0.0% n = 1 Better than national median

% of patients with no new or worsened pressure ulcers during the stay. Higher is better.

Falls With Major Injury 0.35
National median: 0.00 n = 3 Worse than national median

Rate of patient falls resulting in major injury (per 1,000 patient days). Lower is better.

CAUTI (Urinary Tract) Infection Ratio 1.25
National median: 0.63 95% CI: 0.75–1.96 Worse than national median

Standardized Infection Ratio for catheter-associated UTIs — observed ÷ predicted. SIR < 1.0 is better than expected.

CLABSI (Central-Line Bloodstream) Infection Ratio 0.57
National median: 0.55 95% CI: 0.28–1.05 Near national median

Standardized Infection Ratio for central-line bloodstream infections. CLABSI is a major LTCH concern given high central-line use. SIR < 1.0 is better than expected.

C. diff Infection Ratio 0.25
National median: 0.19 95% CI: 0.09–0.55 Worse than national median

Standardized Infection Ratio for C. difficile. SIR < 1.0 is better than expected.

Drug Regimen Review With Follow-up 70.9%
National median: 70.5% n = 356 Near national median

% of patients whose drug regimen was reviewed with follow-up actions taken when issues were identified. Higher is better.

Transfer of Health Info to Provider 86.5%
National median: 95.3% n = 622 Worse than national median

% of discharges with a current reconciled medication list sent to the receiving provider. Higher is better.

Medicare Spending Per Beneficiary 1.03
National median: 0.99 Near national median

Ratio of this LTCH's Medicare spending per beneficiary to the national average. 1.00 = matches national. Lower = more efficient.

About this data

Quality and ratings data are sourced from the U.S. Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) Hospital Compare program. Star ratings are CMS's own calculation; CareRanks does not modify or re-weight them. Facility-level details (address, beds, ownership, teaching status) come from CMS provider files and the CMS Provider of Services file.

Pricing data, where shown, is drawn from the hospital's own Machine-Readable File (MRF) published under the federal Hospital Price Transparency Rule. See our methodology for the full update cadence and limitations.
