What is Sub-Acute Care?

Short term rehabilitation and sub-acute care are comprehensive inpatient services designed for someone who is recovering from an acute illness, injury or exacerbation of a disease process.  It is goal oriented treatment that is rendered immediately after an acute hospitalization.  Sub-acute care consists of the administration of one or more technically complex treatments (ie: physical therapy, wound care, respiratory care ….)

Short term rehabilitation and sub-acute care requires the coordinated services of an interdisciplinary team including physicians, nurses, therapist and other relevant professional disciplines who are trained and knowledgeable to assess and manage these specific conditions and perform the necessary procedures.  The interdisciplinary team works in concert with the patient and his or her family to ensure safe discharge plan.
