A transitional care hospital is an acute-care hospital that specializes in the treatment and rehabilitation of patients who require a prolonged length of stay due to complex medical problems. Transitional care hospitals are certified by Medicare as long-term acute care hospitals, and about two-thirds of our patients have Medicare. Transitional care hospitals are unique in their ability to care for patients whose surgery or medical treatment has proven difficult, whose hospital course was complicated, or who carry the burden of chronic illness even when home. Sometimes called chronically critically ill, these patients require specialized and aggressive goal-directed coordinated care over an extended recovery period. Most come to us from traditional short-term acute care hospitals. Typical patients have multiple ongoing illnesses, and many have multi organ system failure and have experienced a significant loss of independence.
