Flushing Hospital Medical Center's Transitional Care Unit (TCU) is a specialized unit dedicated to providing top-quality care for patients transitioning from an acute hospital stay to a safe return home. The TCU offers multi-disciplinary services in a nurturing environment, catering to patients who no longer require a hospital stay but need additional time for recovery through medical and sub-acute rehabilitation management before discharge.
With a focus on individualized care, the six-bed unit helps patients reach their maximum level of functioning and works to reduce the chances of unnecessary hospital readmission. Located on the hospital premises, the dedicated transitional care facilities ensure an easy and comfortable transition for patients. The TCU team collaborates with patients and their families to ensure that their needs are addressed even after being discharged from the acute hospital setting.
Patients considered for admission to the Transitional Care Unit must meet specific pre-admission selection criteria and require daily medical, skilled nursing, and/or rehabilitation services. Critical condition patients are not eligible for the TCU. As a designated Transitional Care Unit in New York State, the TCU at Flushing Hospital Medical Center is staffed by a team of highly qualified Board Certified physicians, nurses, and allied health professionals who employ a multidisciplinary team approach to meet the diverse needs of their patients.
