Transitional Skilled Nursing Care

Skilled Nursing Our Transitional Skilled Nursing Care program provides short-term skilled medical and rehabilitation care to bridge the gap between hospital-level and a more independent level of care.

Ideal patients are:

  • Respiratory patients who have been weaned from a ventilator, but still have a tracheostomy tube
  • Wound care patients with extensive wounds requiring special treatments and nursing care
  • Medically complex patients who no longer need daily physician visits, but do need daily nursing assessment and care
  • Orthopedic patients who are recovering from surgery or fractures

Most patients stay in this program about three weeks where they benefit from:

  • An individual approach to therapy
  • Medical oversight by an interdisciplinary team of physicians, therapists, nurses and social workers
  • Easy access to a dedicated therapy gym
  • 24/7 nurse coverage
  • An on-staff recreational therapist to help them regain the ability to participate in social and recreational activities
