Transitional Care
Type of short-term care provided by many long-term
care facilities and hospitals which may include
rehabilitation services, specialized care for certain
conditions (such as stroke and diabetes) and/or
post-surgical care and other services associated
with the transition between the hospital and home.
Residents on these units often have been hospitalized
recently and typically have more complicated medical
needs. The goal of subacute care is to discharge
residents to their homes or to a lower level of
care. (Also called subacute care or post-acute care.) |
