Transitional Care

Specially Designed Post-Hospital Program to Get You Back Home

After being discharged from an acute care hospital stay, many patients aren’t yet ready to safely return home. That’s where the Transitional Care Unit at The Carlton comes in.

Count on receiving increased medical attention at our Transitional Care Unit. Along with your attending physician, you’ll be assessed and monitored by our specially designated board-certified physician and nurse practitioner, which helps reduce your chance of being rehospitalized. Plus, our experienced team of registered nurses, specially trained therapists and licensed social workers all work together to give you the customized care you need to reach your highest level of functioning.

With Exceptional Rehabilitation and Around-The-Clock Skilled Nursing Care, We Can Quickly Assist in Your Return Home – Whether You’re Recovering From:
