WHAT IS SUB-ACUTE CARE?
Rehabilitation • Skilled Care
"Sub-acute care" is a relatively new term in the field of health
care. Its origin stems from traditional hospital care which is known
as "acute care". Most commonly provided immediately after your
hospital stay, sub-acute services are delivered on an in-patient
basis and are designed for individuals who require additional care
prior to returning home.
Sub-acute care
is generally more intensive than that found in a traditional nursing
facility yet less intensive than found in an acute setting. This
makes it an effective and affordable health care alternative.
Sub-acute care is an extremely vital component of a patient's total continuum of care. Each patient receives an Individualized Care Plan which is carefully coordinated and monitored by an interdisciplinary team. By incorporating sub-acute care into an individual's overall care program, a patient has a much greater opportunity for maximal recovery. The goal of sub-acute care is simple: Helping You to Return Home!
