Long-term Acute Care Hospitals (LTAC) are for people whose brain injury is severe or combined with other serious medical problems. Often, patients in need of LTAC-level care have complex medical and brain injury rehabilitation needs and are transferred directly from an acute hospital intensive-care unit (ICU) to one of our facilities.

As part of our LTAC programs, patients receive:

• More intensive medical services than a nursing home and patients generally stay for a longer period of time.
• A wide range of medical services as specialized physicians, nurses, therapists, and other clinicians work together to provide specific medical treatments.
• Specialty nursing services including: wound care, telemetry, dialysis, and rehabilitation therapy.
• Brain injury rehabilitation services are provided by physical therapists, occupational therapists, speech language pathologists, therapeutic recreation specialists, music therapists.

Skilled Nursing Facilities (SNFs) are for people whose non-traumatic or traumatic brain injury may be less severe or have improved enough medically to no longer need hospital level care. Our SNF program is designed for people who require short-term rehabilitation care, including physical therapy, occupational therapy, and speech therapy, combined with medical oversight.

Our goal is to get you home as quickly as possible, fully equipped to perform tasks necessary for everyday living.
