long term care unit. Our unit is exclusively for those who are ventilator-dependent
or have tracheostomy and tube feeding requirements needed on a long-term
basis. The patient must be medically stable and no longer require
acute care medical services.

care professionals. Registered nurses, licensed vocational nurses
and certified nursing assistants care for the patient's medical
needs. An activity therapist plans daily social-therapeutic programs.
Social workers, physical, speech, respiratory and occupational therapists,
pharmacists and registered dietitians play vital roles in the patient's
recovery. Chaplain services are offered for patients and their families.

a treatment plan is developed. The Sub Acute Care Unit services
