post-acute care facilities

Post-acute care facilities provide specialized services to help patients recover and regain their independence after hospital stays or illness. These facilities include options like skilled nursing homes, rehabilitation centers, and long-term care communities. They offer medical treatment, therapy (such as physical, occupational, or speech therapy), and assistance with daily activities. The goal is to support patients in restoring their health, managing chronic conditions, and preparing to return home or to another care setting. Post-acute care helps bridge the gap between hospital discharge and independent living, ensuring continued recovery and well-being.
