After hospitalization. Before you go home.
Blount Memorial's Transitional Care Center at MorningView Village provides continuity of care with skilled nursing care and therapeutic services following hospitalization. Housed in an attractive, new building that opened in 2003, the facility features 60 private rooms. Each is spacious and tastefully appointed. In-room features include cable television and telephones, as well as in-room oxygen and suction. Handicapped-equipped rooms are available for patients with special needs. The facility serves patients who no longer need acute hospital treatment but who still require medical and therapeutic services with 24-hour supervision.
The attractive public areas include four sunrooms, a spacious and airy conservatory, recreational rooms, therapy gym, music/reading room, two dining rooms and a beauty shop.
Every effort is made to ease the transition from the hospital to the Transitional Care Center, then to home, minimizing stress and disruption to the patient and family.
An interdisciplinary team of nursing staff, therapists, case managers, registered dieticians, pharmacists and physicians provides the comprehensive treatment. Our goal is to enable patients to return home with their prior level of functional independence.
