Transitional Care Unit

For patients who no longer need acute hospital care, but are not quite ready to go home, the Transitional Care Unit provides additional time in the hospital to complete their recovery.

The Transitional Care team includes physicians skilled in rehabilitative care, experienced nursing staff, on-site physical therapists, speech-language pathologists, social workers, nutritionists, pharmacists, case managers, and an activity director.

All of these skilled professionals work together to restore each patient’s independence. 

Transitional care is also a cost-effective alternative for seriously ill, medically stable patients who require skilled nursing and rehabilitative care. 

The staff’s compassionate approach to care addresses not only patients’ medical and rehab needs, but their social, emotional, behavioral, and spiritual needs as well. 

Transitional Care services include: 

• Orthopedic services for hip and knee replacements
• Wound care management
• Post-acute surgical recovery
• Stroke rehab
• Nutrition management
• Complex diabetic management
• Complex intravenous administration management

Hunt Regional Medical Center’s Transitional Care Unit has contracts with many HMOs, PPOs, and other managed care organizations.

Payments are accepted from Medicare and most commercial insurance providers.
