Continuous Care Center is licensed as a general acute care hospital. We are a prime example of the new type of health care facility that is dedicated to providing quality acute care to medically complex, chronically or acutely ill patients who often require state-of-the art medical technology.

There are several key differences between a traditional hospital and the acute long-term hospital like Continuous Care Center. CCC traditionally has higher nursing, respiratory, and rehabilitation staff-to-patient ratios. The same interdisciplinary team treats our patients throughout their stay at CCC.

Our patients are usually those in transition from another medical environment such as intensive care units, and general acute care. They do not fit the usual critical pathway and strict DRG guidelines of the traditional hospital.

These are patients who have prior medical problems that complicate and lengthen their full recovery period. Our typical patients need continued medical management on a daily basis and nursing care complemented by various therapies that focus on moving patients from an acute setting toward maximum independence.

Our hospital services complement the care provided by traditional hospitals, skilled nursing units and rehabilitation hospitals. Our mission is to provide high-tech resources with individualized care for the "careful to recover" patients, in a non-profit environment.

:: A Proven Team Approach

A recent Yale study of stroke patients showed that a team approach which relies heavily on attentive nursing and social care is successful in lowering the average length of the patient’s hospital stay, while also reducing the likelihood of medical complications.

At Continuous Care Centers, we have relied on a highly involved team treatment approach from the very beginning. A multidisciplinary team of physicians, nurses, therapists, social workers, and counselors all work together to provide a full range of acute and rehabilitative services.

Comprehensive social services, internal case management, counseling, and a highly structured cognitive remediation program are provided. Neuropsychological evaluation, physical medicine, and rehabilitation management programs are also available as needed.

We consider family involvement in the treatment program to be a vital component to our team approach. Our comprehensive plan includes education programs to teach families how to play an integral role in the patient’s rehabilitation.
