Short-Term Care

What to Expect During Your Stay

Post-Hospital Care is designed to help you return home or to a lower level of care after a hospital stay. It begins with an interdisciplinary staff including nurses, therapists, therapy assistants, dietitians, social workers and recreation staff—all charged with helping guide your progress, manage your discharge planning and reduce the probability of return to the hospital.

Arrival


After getting settled in your room, you will be evaluated by an interdisciplinary team. We will work with you to define your individual goals and outline your care plan. Your plan will include your treatment regimen, medication, nutrition, activities of daily living, priorities, scheduling preferences and circumstances.

While You Are There


Throughout your stay, our team will monitor your care and report to your physician and managed health care plan. You can expect to receive therapy in our hospital-level therapy gyms. We also offer a proactive approach in mental wellness, pain management intervention and wound management.

Discharge


You will be assigned a discharge planner who will work with your therapy team to ensure you are able to perform daily tasks once you return home. We will coordinate all follow up appointments for you before you leave to go home.

Follow Through


After you return home, we will call you to see how things are going. We will answer any questions you may have after transitioning home and make sure everything is on track for your follow up appointments.
