Skilled Care
Recovering from surgery, accident/injury, or illness can be a difficult and lengthy process, especially when distance separates you from your home and family. Every patient reaches a point in the recovery process when acute hospital care is no longer necessary, yet returning home is too big of a step.
Bridging that gap, helping the patient “swing” from acute hospital care back to his or her place of residence, is the purpose of this program.
