Short-term care is for patients who require rehabilitative or skilled medical services after an elective or acute hospital stay, before returning to their home.

I wanted to nominate all of the nurses for an award. It didn’t matter which nurse came into my room – each one took the time to sense just what I needed, whether it was a back rub or a chat. They don’t just dispense great care, but they are also listening, nurturing people.
