Intermediate care provides rehabilitation, support and care for individuals who have been in hospital and require additional support before they can return home.
In the United Kingdom, intermediate care offers time-limited, short-term support and rehabilitation for individuals aiming to be able to live more independently, including:
assistance to become as independent as possible after a hospital stay
support to enable a person to live at home despite increasing difficulties due to illness or disability
prevention of a permanent move into residential care where this may not be the best outcome.[1]
A focus is often on reducing the need for admission to hospital, and allowing earlier hospital discharge.[2]
In the United States, an intermediate care facility (ICF), possibly located within a nursing home, is a health care facility for individuals who are disabled, elderly, or non-acutely ill, usually providing less intensive care than that offered at a hospital or skilled nursing facility.
