Sub-Acute CareIn August 1997, Garrett County Memorial Hospital added Sub-Acute Care to its expanding number of services. This 10-bed unit, a collaborative effort between GCMH and the Cuppett Management Corporation, Inc., is designed for patients of all ages who are too sick to return home or go to a traditional nursing home, but not sick enough to remain in the normal hospital setting.  Rehabilitation or medically complex patients are the most appropriate candidates for Sub-Acute Care. Some patients who fit this description are: post-stroke patients; post-surgical patients; cardiorespiratory patients; wound care patients; patients needing services such as physical therapy and occupational therapy or diabetic and colostomy teaching.Usually the individual's condition is such that care does not heavily depend on high-technology monitoring or complex diagnostic procedures, lowering the cost of care while maintaining high-quality standards. The Sub-Acute Unit, which features a comfortable, home-like environment with its own dining area, activity room and laundry facility, provides patients with the care and education needed to function in a home-like setting upon discharge through a high-intensity of nursing and rehabilitative care. Family members are invited to dine with their loved ones and may do so for a minimal charge. To make such an arrangement, call (301) 533-4220. Meal times are:
