What is a Long-Term Care Hospital?

A long-term care hospital is a specialized medical facility designed to treat patients with complex medical conditions who require extended hospital stays. Patients typically remain hospitalized for more than 25 days, receiving focused care and rehabilitation to manage chronic or severe health issues.

Why long-term care hospitals matter

• Specialized extended care: These hospitals provide critical support to patients recovering from severe illnesses, injuries, or chronic conditions requiring ongoing medical attention.
• Intensive rehabilitation: Patients often receive comprehensive rehabilitation services to regain independence and improve quality of life during lengthy hospitalizations.
• Transitional support: Long-term care hospitals often help bridge the gap between acute hospital care and returning home or moving to less-intensive care settings.
