Rehabilitation and Nursing Care
After a severe injury, illness, or a surgical procedure, your recovery will likely require more than just bed rest and traditional hospitalization. You may require directed rehabilitative treatments and ongoing nursing care. At Meadville Medical Center, we have a dedicated Transitional Care Unit (TCU) staffed by compassionate medical professionals who provide our patients with a safe, supportive environment to continue healing and reach a maximum medical improvement. Medical professionals seen here include:
- Nurses
- Physicians
- Physical, Occupational, and Speech Therapists
- Dietician
- Pharmacists
- Support Staff
- Specialty Doctors
We know that what you need to reach a total recovery can change at a moment’s notice depending on your injuries or health complications. Our well-rounded intensive transitional care program is designed to provide attentive and reactive care around-the-clock. You can also count on interdisciplinary team meetings that keep you and your family aware of your progress and what to expect in the days to come.
Specialized Treatments
Patients who have already undergone extensive initial medical care can still encounter significant complications during furthered recovery. The purpose of our Transitional Care Unit at Meadville Medical Center is to provide care that minimizes the chances of complications, and reacts quickly and accordingly to any needs that do arise. It is our goal to get you feeling better and being healthy again as soon as possible. Some specialized treatments include:
- Respiratory care and intervention
- Sanitized wound dressing and redressing
- IV antibiotics to prevent infection
- Scheduled therapy sessions
