Short Term Rehabilitation
Sub acute care is goal-oriented, comprehensive, inpatient care for the medically complex patient who has had an acute illness, injury, or the exacerbation of a chronic disease. This care is rendered immediately after or instead of acute hospitalization.
Sub acute care settings provide the opportunity for the patient to receive complex care or treatment with a focus on rehabilitation or return to prior level of function. The sub acute program provides a new level of care within the care continuum in a cost-effective manner. The program provides care using an interdisciplinary approach to meet the needs particular to the sub acute patient.
The sub acute staff is made up of highly skilled professionals such as physicians, nurses, and therapists and qualified support personnel such as nursing assistants, therapy aides, and technicians. Because of the range of staffing expertise, sub acute care has been defined as being more intensive than traditional nursing home care, but less intensive than acute hospital care.
The length of stay can range from 20 to 100 days or longer, depending on the complexity of the patient's condition and the length of time for stabilization or completion of the pre-determined treatment plan.
Funding sources include Medicare, private insurance, and Medicare HMOs.
