The TCU is designed for patients whose goal is to return to their home in a short period of time. Greater than 80% of patients discharged from the TCU return to their former level of living.

The average length of stay is 10 to 20 days where the patient is provided with physical and occupational therapy services twice per day, six days per week. These patients typically do not qualify for, or cannot tolerate the three hours of therapy required for inpatient rehabilitation. Admission to TCU also requires a minimum three day inpatient hospital stay.

While the TCU is primarily a Medicare unit, other forms of insurance may cover the care.  Medicare and/or insurance coverage determination is made on or prior to admission by assessing the patient’s current orders, needs, and physical condition. The patient must meet Medicare and /or any other health insurance criteria for skilled care in order to be eligible for coverage. Patients must require the services of a licensed nurse or licensed therapist 24 hours a day. Custodial care and intermediate care are not covered services.
