Located on the eighth floor of Holy Cross Hospital, the Holy Cross Transitional Care Center allows patients to live in a comfortable, home-like setting that provides them with all the necessary medical services and rehabilitative therapy they need to become as healthy and independent as possible. Patients in the 20-bed unit wear their own everyday clothes, eat together in the center's dining room, socialize in the activity room, and enjoy planned activities and entertainment. At the same time, they receive customized care and therapy, which is routinely reviewed and adjusted for progress. Typically, patients at the center are recovering from fractured hips, strokes, pneumonia, infections, or complications from cancer or diabetes. The center also serves patients who need help with intravenous medications or feeding tubes, require respiratory therapy, or require observation because of unstable conditions.
Patients usually stay two to three weeks, although the center also provides for more long-term care.
