What to expect

Post-hospital or post-acute care is designed to improve your transition back to the community or a lower level of care. As a post-acute patient, you no longer need the acute care setting of the hospital which includes around-the-clock physicians, surgery, emergency and ICU services, but still need a high level of clinical and rehabilitation care to hasten your recuperation. This may include skilled nursing, rehabilitation, dietary management, social services and discharge planning. All care is directed by your physician, and our team will be in regular contact with you, your family and your physician(s).  With a focus on short-term rehabilitation, most patients are discharged home within four to six weeks. For those needing a little more time or who choose to stay a little longer to get a little stronger, we have intermediate- and long-term care services available in most locations.
