Really enjoy the way Teresa articulates her experience! I'm still confused a bit, but I'm sure the terminology can get very convoluted in this industry. Are Sub/Post acute essentially the same thing? Unless an Acute Rehab facility may also offer Sub-Acute services, I can't see any other differences? Also, LTAC - that operates as a hospital, would that still fall under the Nursing Home category or is that an exception and stays classified as a Hospital?

Thank you for these good and thoughtful questions. I pasted below some answers straight from Theresa. Sub/Post Acute care are the same, just different ways of saying it- Ltac- Long-term Acute Care facility is for after a patient leaves the hospital. It is for a patient with complex medical needs, who need rehabilitation and ongoing skilled nursing care. This is considered under the same benefit as a hospital stay. Post Acute - focus on rehabilitation- there is a separate benefit for Post Acute Care

Is LTAC good or not? After tracheostomy the icu team want to send my dad there…. I’m just so confused and not finding enough information about it

[@AssistedLivingAnswerMan]

Apologies for the late reply. I suggest that you find a reputable GCM (Geriatric Care Manager) who can help you make the right decisions (or who can point you in the right direction). Wishing your dad the best outcome.
