Long term care hospitals offer structured programs for patients suffering from critical illness or injury. Unlike general acute care hospitals, which focus on stabilizing the patient’s medical condition and treating them for a shorter period. Unlike nursing homes, which are not equipped to provide intensive medical care, LTACs specialize in providing a full complement of on-site treatment and diagnostic services with a delivery focus that improves a patient’s response to treatment.
