Long-term acute care hospitals (LTACHs, called long-term care hospitals by Medicare) treat patients who are still seriously ill after an intensive care stay and need hospital-level care for weeks rather than days - most often for ventilator weaning, complex wounds, severe infections or multiple organ problems. They are not nursing homes: Medicare requires an average stay of more than 25 days and hospital-level staffing. Compare how many patients are weaned off the ventilator and how many return home.
