Inpatient health care facilities that support patients who are transitioning from one care setting to another or who have been discharged from the hospital following the treatment of an acute condition, but are not yet ready to go home. Patients should be medically stable and needing assistance with daily activities. Staff may work with the patient to coordinate their future care needs and living arrangements, including coordination with the patient's family and caregivers. Length of stay is typically short (usually less than a month) and often includes recovery services such as rehabilitation. Transitional care facilities may also be used by people who are in the hospital while awaiting a long-term care placement.
