Post-Acute Care A care level below acute care, but more intense than long term care, usually needed subsequent to a hospital stay. Many nursing homes and hospitals have developed post-acute care services, which are generally provided for a limited period of time, as a part of rehabilitation or recovery from acute care problems. For example, a person who suffered a stroke acute care episode may require a intense period of physical and speech therapy during the recovery period. Post-acute care services are generally coverable under both Medicare and Medicaid programs.
