Bella Sera - In-Between Care from Home to Hospital
The Transitional Care and Rehabilitation Unit (TCRU) is a skilled nursing
facility within the hospital that focuses on rehabilitating patients who
are still recovering from an illness or injury and are not ready to go home yet.
Stays in our TCRU are normally shorter (about 2 – 4 weeks) than at
a nursing home. For example, you may have surgery at the hospital and
stay several days in the acute setting but still not be strong enough
to go home. You could transfer over to the TCRU and continue to get the
support and rehab you need while you continue to heal and improve.
TCRU Services
The TCRU provides patients with the rehabilitation and training (which
may include any caregiver that may be involved) they need to better prepare
them to go home and to be healthy and strong enough to stay home.
We also accept transfers from other hospitals out of town. This allows
patients to return to the community and to their loved ones while they
continue to heal and recover.
