Business Outlook
Pros
Great to see acutely ill people with chronic medical problems improve. Pt. length of stay allows for deeper understanding of health needs as well as ability to develop deeper understanding of psychosocial needs. Staff has deep level of commitment to pt and families and in providing the best possible care. No visiting hours allows for better family interactions.
Cons
Physically demanding as most pt require assistance with majority of ADL's. Families can be a challenge as they it is difficult to understand the long term effects and prognosis of chronic illness. A lot of times the families live out of town and are insecure with leaving loved ones. More equipment would be so welcomed.
