Glacier Hills has allocated 80 skilled beds to admit geriatric patients for sub-acute care focusing on rehabilitation. Collaboration with faculty and staff from many U-M Health System departments is an important component of this activity. This program has had an impact by reducing hospital placement days as well as providing an effective post-discharge rehabilitation program for elderly patients.
