Frequently Asked Questions

What is a long-term acute care hospital (LTCH)?

A LTCH is designed to care for adult patients (age 18 years and older) with complex medical illnesses or critical injury who require intensive, around-the-clock attention for an extended period of time.

Is a long-term acute care hospital appropriate for you?

Answering "yes" to one or more of these questions may qualify a patient for admission:

• Does the patient have multiple system failure?
• Is the patient dependent on a ventilator?
• Is the patient in need of intensive wound care?
• Is the patient medically unstable for transfer to lower level of care, such as a nursing home or rehab hospital?
• Is the patient's rehabilitation compromised by an acute medical issue?
• Is the patient in the intensive care unit?

How long should I expect to be a patient?

The average length of stay is expected to be at least 25 days, but each individual has unique needs. Your length of stay will be discussed with you and your loved ones.

Will I have a private room?
