Long-Term Acute Care Hospitals

Kindred long-term acute care (LTAC) hospitals provide aggressive, specialized interdisciplinary care to medically complex patients who require extended recovery time. These patients are ill and have few care options left; they come to us because they require the aggressive, specialized care and prolonged recovery time that conventional short-term acute care hospitals may not be equipped to provide.

We are proud of our clinical outcomes - in 2008 we successfully weaned 4,760 (44%) of the patients referred to us, most of whom were considered unable to be weaned from a ventilator due to multi-system failure. We discharged 28,781 (67%) of our patients to home or a lower level of care. To learn more, read our 2008 Quality and Social Responsibility Report.

Our hospitals have 24-hour physician support and the ancillary services found at an acute care hospital, including laboratory, radiology, operating or procedure rooms, intensive care units (ICUs) and telemetry units. They are licensed as acute care hospitals and are accredited by The Joint Commission.
