Inpatient rehabilitation facilities
Inpatient rehabilitation facilities are hospitals, or parts of hospitals,
that offer an intensive rehabilitation to inpatients.
Many patients with various conditions, like strokes or brain injuries,
are transferred or admitted to an inpatient rehabilitation facility.
Some inpatient rehabilitation facilities specialize in treating patients
with certain medical conditions.
Here, you'll get information on how many times a facility has treated Medicare patients with a specific condition in the last year, so you can find one that best fits your needs. The end goal of an inpatient rehabilitation facility is discharge to a patient's home or to another longer term facility as needed.
Long-term care hospitals
Long-term care hospitals are acute care hospitals that provide extended
medical and rehabilitative care to individuals who are clinically complex
and have multiple acute or chronic conditions.
Patients may improve with time and care and get discharged to home. Most patients are transferred to long-term care hospitals after they've been treated in an intensive or critical care unit.
Long-term care hospital services include:
- Multiple organ failure treatment
- Sepsis/septicemia treatment
- Ventilator weaning
- Severe wound care
Dialysis facilities
If you have kidney failure, or end-stage renal disease (ESRD),
you usually have to undergo dialysis. Dialysis treatment does some of the things
that healthy kidneys do. It's needed when your own kidneys
can't take care of your body's needs.
There are 2 kinds of dialysis: hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis (a treatment that uses the lining of your abdomen, or belly, to filter your blood inside your body). Dialysis can be done in a dialysis facility or home. When you search for facilities here, you can filter between the 2 kinds of dialysis they offer, and whether or not they offer home hemodialysis training.
