Long-term Acute Care

Long-term acute care hospitals are a fairly recent concept. Their niche in the health care system is to help patients who require fairly lengthy in-patient hospital stays for serious medical conditions or injuries. Acute care hospitals often transfer patients who require ongoing high-level care to these long-term acute care hospitals. These specialty hospitals are often much smaller than acute care hospitals, which can provide more personalized care and a more relaxed atmosphere for the patient during recovery. Long-term acute care (LTAC) hospitals often provide the following types of in-patient medical services: treatment for infectious diseases; wound care for surgical wounds, amputations or bed sores; breathing support with intubations, tracheostomies or ventilators; slow-paced rehabilitation therapies (speech, physical and occupational therapy) for patients who require a cautious pace of therapy; recovery after surgery; care for congestive heart failure; management of difficult-to-control diabetes; treatment for sepsis or other infections; care for multi-system diseases; care after a brain or spinal cord injury (for example, after a stroke or head injury); care and therapy after joint replacement; long-term care after serious burns; care for patients with cancer or heart or renal diseases; and care for many other complex long-term illnesses. The level of care provided in an acute care hospital can be quite high and is greater than that provided in a skilled nursing facility (what we might think of as a nursing home).
