Transitional Care
Transitional Care supports patients recovering from a variety of illness and surgeries who no longer need acute hospital care, but are not yet ready to go home.
Transitional Care provides
- A personalized plan of care that focuses on physical, spiritual and social needs
- Daily skilled care delivered by nurses and/or therapists
- A familiar environment that includes activities to help the patient get back to daily living and independence
Benefits of Transitional Care
- Transitional care offers high-quality care in a familiar setting.
- Multidisciplinary teams prepare patients for a successful return home to help prevent readmittance to an acute care hospital.
- Transitional care close to home makes it easier for family and friends to attend therapy sessions where they will learn how to help the patient when he or she returns home.
- Patient rooms are well equipped, comfortable and easily accessible.
- Transitional Care teams consult with providers from referring acute care hospitals, should questions or concerns arise.
