Care Options After Discharge

Skilled nursing centers and inpatient rehabilitation centers serve as an interim step for patients who no longer need hospitalization but are not quite ready to return home. These facilities generally provide patients with 24-hour nursing care, along with physical, occupational or speech-language therapy, wound care and education to help manage new medical issues such as ostomies. For more information, speak with a social worker.
