Setting: Medically unstable/ injured patients requiring 24/7 care of nurses and physicians.
Acute care
Setting: Medically unstable patients able to tolerate 3 hours of therapy per day. Physicians and nursing available 24/7.
Acute Rehab
Setting: Less medically unstable but still requiring nursing and physician care. Patients have not qualified for acute rehab most likely because they cannot tolerate 3 hours of therapy per day. Patients are not safe to return home yet, and require 24/7 nursing care. Physicians on call but not on site 24/7.
Sub-Acute Rehab
Setting: Patients require 24/7 nursing care. Some patients are placed in a SNF for long term care. Physicians on call but not on site 24/7.
Skilled Nursing Facility
Setting: Patients are at home, must be “homebound” – meaning they are unable to leave home unassisted, to qualify, in most cases. They are able to leave home for medical appointments, church, AA meetings, and the salon/barber only. They do not require 24/7 nursing care and are considered medically stable to be at home.
Home Health OT service
Setting: More help available than at home, less than available at SNF. Works like renting an apartment, the client pays a monthly rent and any extra help they need, they have to pay for. Most ALFs provide meals and entertainment on site. Clients can receive up to 45 minutes of ADL assistance per day. Therapies are usually provided through the home health setting. Though some ALFs employ their own therapy staff.
Assisted Living Facilities
