What is post-acute care or rehab care?

Post-acute care facilities, also called rehab facilities, provide services that enable patients to regain their strength and return home. Patients receive these services after hospitalization for surgery, injury or illness. Post-acute care is chosen upon discharge and leads to a lower likelihood of being re-admitted to the hospital thanks to set short-term rehabilitation goals. Some of the services provided at a post-acute care facility include physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy and skilled nursing care.
