A perfect place to recover in between hospital and home.
Patients hospitalized for an injury or illness may find that, although they've recovered enough to no longer need acute hospital care, they still may not be well enough to return home.
To ease the transition, Uniontown Hospital created the Progressive Care Center, located on the second floor of the hospital. Here patients can recover comfortably and receive the skilled nursing and rehabilitation care they need - all in an environment that's more home than hospital.
Most patients who are recommended for our Progressive Care Center stay for as long as 12-20 days. And we make every effort to make that stay as comfortable as possible. So even though the center is conveniently located within Uniontown Hospital, the atmosphere here is altogether different.
Along with highly skilled nursing care, residents enjoy the following amenities:
- Attractively decorated private and semi-private rooms with TV and telephone
- Resident dining room
- Sunny activity room with daily scheduled activities
- Dental and podiatry services
- Beauty and personal-care service upon request
- Pharmacy
- Religious services
- Pet Therapy program
- Personal laundry service
- Gift shop and snack area
Following a physician's referral, a timely, free evaluation will be done by our registered nurse care manager. At this time, rehabilitation and discharge potential and benefits coverage will be determined. If the appropriate criteria are met, the patient will be admitted to the Progressive Care Center. If we determine that the Progressive Care center is not a viable option, we will recommend an alternate placement option.
Some of the more common admitting diagnoses are:
- Cardiopulmonary disease
- Diabetes
- Neuromuscular disease
- Oncology disorder
- Orthopedic disorder
- Pneumonia
- Sepsis
- Stroke
- Wound care
Our staff has been carefully selected on the basis of experience, competence and, most importantly, a positive attitude toward providing personalized care to our residents. Our recovery programs, supervised by our medical directors, are tailored to meet each resident's special needs as determined by his or her primary care physician. They may include team members from the following disciplines:
- Nursing Services
- Nutritional Service
- Social Service and Discharge Planning
- Physical Therapy
- Occupational Therapy
- Speech Therapy/Audiology
- Recreational Therapy
- Respiratory Therapy
- Pharmacy
- Pastoral Care and Volunteers
Services provided at the Progressive Care Center are covered by Medicare and most other insurance plans.
