Long-Term Acute Care

When a patient faces a critical medical event—such as a heart attack, stroke, or traumatic injury—their first destination is often a traditional hospital, where the focus is on rapid stabilization and short-term treatment to address immediate health concerns.

But for some, recovery doesn’t end there.

Patients with medically complex conditions often require extended care beyond what a short-term hospital can provide. That’s where Cornerstone Post Acute Care steps in.

As a Long-Term Acute Care Hospital (LTACH), Cornerstone specializes in treating patients who need continued medical attention after a stay in an ICU or step-down unit. With an average length of stay around 25 days—though this varies by individual—we serve as a vital bridge between acute care and full recovery.

Our facility includes a licensed ICU and medical-surgical unit, staffed by a multidisciplinary team of physician specialists, registered nurses (RNs), licensed practical nurses (LPNs), and respiratory therapists. This allows us to deliver the high-level, specialized care our patients need.

Led by physicians, our team provides daily medical oversight and collaborates with experts in complex pulmonary conditions, post-operative complications, cardiac conditions, complicated infections, neurological injuries, and pressure, surgical or non-healing wounds. We are equipped to manage the complexities of recovery with precision and compassion.

At Cornerstone, our mission is simple: to guide patients through a safe, steady recovery—helping them rebuild strength, restore confidence, and prepare for the next step in their journey.
