​

What Is Short Term Care?

Short term care differs from long-term care in that the stay has a planned end date. A candidate for short term care may not have anyone at home to help until they can care for themselves independently again. When severe illness, injury or post-surgical care requires 24/7 monitoring, skilled nursing, or rehabilitation therapy, our first-class facilities are here for your needs until you or your family member is recovered sufficiently enough to return home.

​

How it Works

A short term stay may last for days, weeks, or months depending on the circumstances and the individual. When a patient is admitted for a short term stay, it is understood they will be there temporarily, until a predefined goal is reached. For physical rehab, the goal could be that the patient's pain is under control, and they can move independently and safely. A post-surgical patient may need wound care until they are stronger and healed sufficiently to take part in their own recovery.

When is Short Term Care Needed?

While we have discussed the need for short term care after an illness, injury or surgery, there is another reason for short stays that is very important: Respite care. In the case of patients who need around the clock care, the responsibility can take a toll on caregivers. Respite care is designed to provide the necessary level of care for the patient while the caregiver takes some time away.
