Our Mission
Our mission at Newberry County Memorial Hospital (NCMH) is to promote a healthy community and to provide exceptional healthcare with a personal touch...close to home.
We are proud to offer an inpatient rehabilitation center close to home. This 12-bed Transitional Care Unit (TCU) meets community health needs.
What is the Transitional Care Unit (TCU)?
When a hospital patient needs additional rehabilitation, this unit provides the extended inpatient services that can restore the client's health to the maximum possible. This type medical care is generally more intensive than traditional nursing facility care and less intensive than inpatient hospital care. The emphasis is on rehabilitation and restorative care. If you or a family member has had heart surgery, joint replacement or a complex medical problem, such as pneumonia, cancer or a stroke, you could be a candidate for this local service.
What are the Services in TCU?
Professional services are provided by an interdisciplinary team of healthcare professionals trained to assess and manage specific treatments and methods of care. Occupational, speech and physical therapy sessions are provided on a daily basis. NCMH provides all rehabilitation services.
Length of Stay
Skilled rehabilitation services and nursing care are rendered after an acute care hospitalization of at least three days. The average length of stay in TCU ranges from seven to 14 days.
Payment
Our program is certified to accept clients with Medicare and private insurance.
