WHAT IS SUB-ACUTE CARE?
Sub-acute care is a growing medical care service. It merges the nuance of a hospital and the efficiency of a skilled nursing facility to reduce the cost of services while maintaining the quality of care the patient requires.
Sub-acute care provides intensive rehabilitation services for patients that no longer require critical care, but are not ready to return home.
Sub-acute care requires the coordinated services of an interdisciplinary team including Physicians, Nurses, Physiotherapists, Occupational therapists and other relevant professional disciplines, who are trained and knowledgeable to assess and manage these specific conditions and perform the necessary procedures.
