When it’s not yet time to go home, but you’re well enough to leave acute care

​Garfield County Hospital District offers transitional care services for patients that are ready to leave traditional acute care in the hospital but are not yet ready to return home or to their previous living situation. These patients still require additional skilled medical care, nursing care or rehabilitation services.

  • Post-surgical care, including cardiac, neuro, orthopedic and abdominal
  • Respiratory care
  • Wound care for wound healing and prevention
  • Intravenous (IV) antibiotics and therapy to treat a variety of infections and conditions
 
Additionally, our transition care team works in collaboration with other services at Garfield County Hospital District to provide rehabilitation care during a transitional care stay, such as:
 
  • Physical therapy
  • Occupational therapy

Our friendly and familiar staff uses evidence-based best practices developed by Mayo Clinic to provide a personalized plan for high quality care close to home.
