Question

Subacute care is for residents who:

(A) Are relatively independent and do not need around-the-clock skilled care
(B) Need less care than most long-term care facilities provide
(C) Need more care than most long-term care facilities provide
(D) Need emergency care for an accident or sudden illness

Answer 1

Subacute care is for residents who need more care than most long-term care facilities provide.

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct answer is (C) Need more care than most long-term care facilities provide. Subacute care is a level of care that falls between acute care and long-term care. It is designed for patients who need more care than what a long-term care facility can provide, but do not require the intense level of care provided in an acute care hospital. Subacute care is often provided in specialized subacute care units within hospitals or in skilled nursing facilities.
