Emory Long-Term Acute care opened its doors in 1996. We began with 19 beds but have grown to 50 beds, including a four-bed specialized care unit. On average, we treat 30 to 40 patients at a time to provide more individualized care and to keep a low patient-to-nurse ratio. This ensures that each patient receives the personalized care they deserve. All of our rooms are private, ensuring that patients experience maximum comfort during their stay. Our physician-led team of nurses, respiratory and physical therapists, occupational and speech therapists, case managers, and dieticians work together with the goal of returning each patient to a level of activity and lifestyle they enjoy.

Emory Long-Term Acute Care is committed to using innovative, evidence-based medicine to achieve optimal recovery and results for our patients. Care is delivered using the latest science in a cost-effective setting that leads to high patient satisfaction and return-to-home rates. With specialized accommodations such as beds that enable progressive mobility, most patients meet treatment goals within a two-to-six week length of stay.

In addition to intensive therapy and round-the-clock nursing and respiratory care, we provide the following services:

At Emory Long-Term Acute Care, our patients come to use through a physician referral.

If the patient meets our criteria, they will be transferred to our facility within 24 hours.
