Post-Acute Care Services

Post-acute care refers to a range of medical care services that support a patient’s continued recovery from illness or management of a chronic illness or disability. PIH Health includes a number of services and programs that fall into the category of post-acute care, including institutional-based programs such as Inpatient Rehabilitation Facilities (IRFs) and skilled-nursing facilities (SNFs) as well as home and community-based services, such as Home Health and Hospice Care. Additional specialized services span the acute and post-acute-care continuum, such as palliative care, hospital case management and discharge planning.
