Little Company of Mary offers several levels of care for our patients. Patients requiring intensive therapy or treatment in a hospital setting receive acute care. The average length of stay in acute care is five days. Transitional care serves those who have been discharged from the hospital but still require short-term rehabilitation and special care in order to make the transition from hospital to home. Long-term care serves those needing extended custodial and residential care. In addition, Little Company of Mary Sub-Acute Care Center – South Bay provides sub-acute ventilator care for those patients who depend on ventilators to breathe.  

 
As you progress through the acute care phase of your illness, your physician may determine that you are ready to be discharged from the acute care hospital but not yet ready to return home. Your doctor may then recommend you have a continued stay in one of our post acute facilities for transitional care.

 
Transitional care is designed for patients who require a short-term regimen of less intensive therapy or treatment following an acute hospital stay. It is ideal for patients who are too ill and/or technology-dependent to receive home care, but who do not need to remain in a medical/surgical bed. Medical conditions which frequently require transitional care include, but are not limited to:
