Hi, it’s Patrik Hutzel from intensivecarehotline.com with another quick tip for families in intensive care.

So, today’s tip is about, “When should families in intensive care let their loved one go to LTAC (long-term acute care)?” And this is a video for our audience in the U.S. because our other viewers and clients are usually in the U.K., Australia, or Canada. There are no LTACs in those countries. So, LTAC is specific to the U.S. Sometimes it’s also referred to as skilled nursing facility (SNF) or also a subacute.

So again, coming back to our original question, “When should you let your loved one go to long-term acute care or SNF or subacute?” Well, you can guess the answer. The answer is never. Never, ever. Go in your area and type in the LTACs in your area and look up the online reviews. Look up the online reviews and they’re pretty bad. They’re pretty bad and I’m not surprised by it.

We’ve been working with clients in long-term acute care facilities for many years in the U.S. and for lack of a better term, it’s a disaster area. Patients from ICU go to LTAC and it’s like a critically ill patient with a tracheostomy and a PEG (percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy) tube going to LTAC. And LTAC is the better version of a nursing home, but it’s only marginally better version of a nursing home.
