MENU Navigation Home CHI Saint Joseph Health All Services Long-Term Care Long-term Acute Care Sometimes a surgery or treatment requires only recovery, allowing you to go home within just a few days. These patients have regained most of their strength and mobility and are ready to return to their regular lives with just minor adjustments. But when more involved surgery is necessary, often a longer in-hospital recovery is as well. That’s why long-term acute care programs are available – to provide patients with the skilled care they need in between immediate recovery and their transition home. Long-term care helps you or a loved one with daily needs, such as grooming and bathing. It also can involve targeted physical therapy to help improve muscular strength. Each patient is different, and our dedicated doctors, nurses and therapists will work closely with you to create a personalized plan tailored to your specific needs. For additional information and to inquire about long-term acute care for you or your family, contact one of our locations below.
