Gaylord Hospital is a long-term acute care hospital that specializes in the care and treatment of medically complex patients and rehabilitation. Long-term acute care (LTAC) is a recognized designation by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services for acute care hospitals whose average length of stay is at least 25 days. LTAC hospitals provide specialized care services to manage medical conditions, so that patients with catastrophic or acute illnesses and injuries can work toward recovery.
As an LTAC, Gaylord Hospital is staffed and equipped to handle the specific needs of acutely ill or chronically disabled patients who require a hospital level of care. Gaylord Hospital also is able to treat those who need rehabilitation for illnesses or injuries related to the brain and nervous system, bones and joints, lungs, and other conditions. These capabilities allow us to continue to meet our patients' needs through every stage of their recovery. Gaylord Hospital is accredited by the Joint Commission on the Accreditation of Health Care Organizations (JCAHO). Gaylord has a full-time physician staff with around-the-clock medical coverage. |
