A valuable service provided by our care home is the Transitional Care Unit (TCU), catering to patients who may not be ready to return home after receiving acute care. Located on the 6th floor of our facility, the TCU offers a seamless transition from the hospital bed to the resident's home, with a comprehensive range of services available. This includes physical, occupational, and speech therapy, as well as x-ray and emergency services, all within the same building.
Patients in the TCU benefit from an aggressive rehabilitation and medical program, particularly useful for those recovering from procedures like hip replacement surgery. The staff at our care home emphasize a resident-centered approach, involving both the individual and their family in the planning of care. A multidisciplinary team, consisting of physicians, nurses, therapists, and other professionals, collaborate to develop a personalized plan to restore the resident to their optimal state of health.
Our TCU is Medicare certified and state licensed for skilled nursing care, following Medicare guidelines for admission criteria. Residents must have been in the hospital for a minimum of three days and require the care of a licensed professional to qualify for TCU admission. The goal of the Transitional Care Unit is to enhance each resident's recovery and prepare them for a successful return home.
With 24-hour nursing supervision, customized care plans, and a focus on rehabilitation, our Transitional Care Unit provides a supportive environment for residents to regain their independence and functionality. Family involvement is encouraged, and residents are treated with dignity and respect throughout their stay. Whether it's IV therapy, rehabilitation services, or skilled nursing care, our TCU is equipped to meet the individual needs of each resident as they progress towards their health goals.
