Referral and Admissions
Many patients require extended hospitalization after a short stay in an acute-care hospital. LTACHs like Houston Methodist Continuing Care Hospital provide patients with daily care from a dedicated medical team for a longer period of time, typically 18 to 25 days, before they are well enough to return home or transition to an appropriate non-acute care facility.The admission route begins when a patient is referred to an LTACH by a health care provider, insurance company or family member.
