Individualized Treatment Programs

Our focus is on restoring optimal functioning as quickly as possible. Sub-acute care helps patients regain and maximize their levels of independence in a relatively short length of stay.

Laurel Ridge has identified over 140 diagnostic related groups (DRG'S) for which Sub-Acute services would be more medically appropriate and cost effective than treatment within the acute care setting.

Sub-Acute Medical Services are designed to provide medically complex patients with acute services. They include intravenous and enteral therapy, pain management, post surgical care, non-acute cardiac care, specialized skin and wound care, dialysis support, and pulmonary management.

Sub-Acute Rehabilitation Services help patients regain and maximize levels of independence following joint replacement, amputation, orthopedic injuries, stroke, and other cerebral insults, multiple trauma, progressive neurological or neuromuscular diseases and other medical and surgical diagnoses.

Skilled Nursing Services provide short-term medical management and skilled nursing intervention. Prescriptive therapy is provided as required. Services may include respite care, hospice care, and short-term alternatives to acute hospitalization or home care.
