Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Subacute care is more intensive than traditional nursing home care and several times more costly. For subacute patients, the expectation is that the patient will be discharged home or to a less intensive setting, and the length of stay is usually 1 month or less. Subacute care is largely reimbursed by Medicare. Patients in subacute units are usually younger and less likely to be cognitively impaired than those in traditional nursing home care. Both subacute and long term care are delivered in a nursing home setting.
