F

amilies often play a significant role in the healing
process. Should you or a family member need long-term acute care
services, it’s important to consider a
facility where family is welcomed and
included as an integral part of care.
Carrus Specialty Hospital was designed to enhance patient comfort and
accommodate families, with the strong
belief that the presence and support of
loving families can facilitate recovery.
Patients come to Carrus Specialty
Hospital for specialized treatment
within an integrated plan of care, utilizing physicians, nurses, therapists,
nutritionists, and other caring team
members. Carrus’ team understands
that involving families can help staff
better know the patient, so that care is
as customized as the treatment. When

everyone comes together to work toward goals in personal and meaningful
ways, patients may feel more valued as
individuals and better able to contribute to their progress.
At a time when families often wonder what they can do, Carrus helps
involve them in meaningful and productive ways. The sound of familiar
voices, the gentle touch of a comforting hand, and the reassuring presence
of loved ones may be sensed as well
as experienced, so that even the most
critically ill or injured patients may
benefit. Additionally, families can
help ensure that patients receive and
understand information provided by
various members of the professional
team, reinforcing communications
and providing opportunities for asking
questions and stating concerns.
Because Carrus Hospitals include

specialty, rehabilitation, sleep lab, and
outpatient services, they can meet a
range of needs within a broad continuum of care. They have recently added
a transport service to assist in moving
patients from traditional hospitals to
Carrus.
