    Specialized Care for the Next Stage of Recovery

    Helping medically complex patients recover is our specialty. As long-term acute care hospitals (LTACHs), Solara Hospitals partner with physicians, case managers, and care teams to build on the progress they've achieved, helping patients continue their recovery. We provide specialized hospital-level acute care and rehabilitation for patients recovering from critical illness or injury, reducing the risk of readmission and preparing patients for the next step toward home.

    When to Consider an LTACH

    While an initial acute care hospital stay is focused on treating acute illness or injury, some medically complex patients continue to require hospital-level care for weeks or even months. When patients no longer require the full resources of a short-term acute care hospital but still need intensive medical management, a long-term acute care hospital (LTACH) can provide the specialized care needed to continue their recovery.

    At Solara Hospitals, we provide:

    • Focused care for medically complex patients, allowing our physicians and interdisciplinary care teams to deliver highly specialized treatment and rehabilitation.
    • 24/7 respiratory therapy and ventilator-weaning expertise to support patients with complex pulmonary and respiratory needs.
    • Early mobility programs, including for patients on mechanical ventilation, to promote recovery and functional improvement.
    • A specialized care environment designed for medically complex patients, helping reduce the risk of hospital-acquired conditions while supporting the next stage of recovery.

    Care for Complex Conditions

    Patients come to our specialty hospitals with serious conditions such as respiratory failure, complex wounds, sepsis, stroke, congestive heart failure, or even a combination of these. Their diagnoses are often complicated by existing health problems like diabetes or COPD. Many of our patients require treatments such as mechanical ventilation, respiratory therapy, dialysis, or IV therapy.

    Choosing the Right Level of Care

    Every patient's recovery journey is different. Understanding how long-term acute care differs from other post-acute settings can help you determine the most appropriate next step for medically complex patients.
