Our Sub-Acute Care (Stepdown Care) program is designed to provide a supportive environment for patients who no longer require intensive acute care but still need medical supervision and ongoing therapy. This transitional care helps bridge the gap between hospital discharge and returning home, ensuring patients continue to recover in a structured setting.
