your questions, answered
Why is transitional care at Osceola Medical Center a better choice for you or your family than a skilled nursing facility?
-
Greater safety, quality, and flexibility because of hospital services and resources available such as on-site physicians, respiratory therapy, lab, and radiology.
-
Hospital-level nurse and rehabilitation therapy staffing levels (two to three times more nursing hours per patient per day than many other settings).
-
Effective rapid assessment and transfer processes, when needed.
-
Patient family members are able to be engaged when transitional care is closer to home.
-
The small-town feeling that our patients love is also why our staff love working at OMC. Staff know and trust each other, which fosters a culture of teamwork and collaboration.
What does transitional care look like?
-
Most patients typically stay somewhere between 10 to 14 days. Some patients with complex needs stay longer.
​
-
After a stay in Transitional Care, over 70% of patients are discharged back to home; the rest move on to long-term care. If, after your stay in transitional care, you are unable to return home, we will help you and your family with a placement.
