SHORT STAY CARE

Short Stay Care: Plan Before Going to the Hospital


When your doctor recommends a short-stay rehabilitative care following your planned hospital procedure, it is always a smart decision to prepare ahead. Plan to visit skilled nursing and rehabilitation facilities prior to surgery and make an informed choice that you can tell the hospital upon admission. Making this important decision ahead of time will greatly simplify your discharge from the hospital.
