Higher-Acuity Skilled Nursing in a Supportive Setting
Sub-Acute & Specialized Care at Intercommunity Health & Rehab Center is designed for individuals who require a higher level of skilled nursing and clinical monitoring than traditional long-term care, but who do not require acute inpatient hospitalization.
Our sub-acute services support patients transitioning from the hospital who need short-term, physician-directed care in a skilled nursing environment focused on stabilization, recovery, and safe transition planning.

Intercommunity Health & Rehab Center offers a dedicated 30-bed sub-acute care unit staffed by experienced licensed nurses and interdisciplinary professionals.
Care is tailored to each patient’s clinical needs and delivered under physician orders, with close monitoring to support medical stability and recovery.

- Tracheostomy care and management
- Ventilator support and respiratory services
- Cool aerosol therapy
- Complex medical monitoring
- IV therapy and medication administration
- Advanced wound care

All services are provided based on physician direction and individual care plans.
Who May Benefit from Sub-Acute Care
Sub-acute care may be appropriate for individuals who:
- Are transitioning from an acute hospital stay
- Require short-term, higher-acuity skilled nursing support
- Need specialized respiratory or medical services
- Are recovering from complex medical conditions or procedures
- Require close clinical oversight prior to returning home or transitioning to another level of care
Coordinated, Team-Based Care
Our interdisciplinary team works collaboratively to support each patient’s clinical needs and recovery goals. Nursing, therapy, respiratory services, and care coordination work together to ensure continuity of care and clear communication with patients, families, and healthcare providers.
A Focus on Safe Transitions
The goal of Sub-Acute & Specialized Care at Intercommunity is to support medical stability while planning for the next appropriate step in care — whether that is rehabilitation, long-term skilled nursing, or discharge to home with services.
