After being stabilized and discharged from an acute care hospital, a person needing rehabilitation is transferred to a subacute inpatient skilled rehabilitation hospital like Restore Hospital for rehabilitation services. A client may need either medical care or rehabilitation care — and sometimes both. Skilled physical rehabilitation care is a high level of care that can only be provided by trained and licensed professionals, like physical, occupational, and speech therapists. This phase of care can be short-term or long term and helps people regain or improve their function after injury or illness.
After admission a comprehensive assessment is completed and an individualized plan of care with realistic goals and discharge plans is established.
Plan of care may include:
- Skilled nursing services: These may include
- IV* or IM* injection of drugs given at least every 12 hours
- Parental feeding (TPN) or enteral feeding, (eg, nasogastric, gastrostomy or jejunostomy)
- Active management of an exacerbation of chronic disease conditions
- Complex wound care for stage 3 or 4 or multiple stage 2 decubitus ulcer(s)
- Wound Vac Device or drain management, including initial care of urinary or wound drain catheters (such as bladder irrigation, nephrostomy tube, suprapubic catheter or JP***/biliary drains
