Long-term acute care (LTAC) is the type of care provided at Vibra Hospital of Western Massachusetts. Vibra has a nationwide network of transitional care hospitals unique in their ability to care for medically complex patients who benefit from extended recovery time.
Vibra patients receive this much needed care through treatment delivered according to their individual needs. Board-certified physicians see patients daily to assure the best outcomes possible.

The majority of patients are admitted after a stay in a short-term hospital, often from intensive care and step-down units. Vibra Hospital specializes in caring for patients with:

• Average length of stay of 25-30 days.
• Three to six concurrent active diagnoses and an acute episode on top of several chronic illnesses and co-morbidities that cannot be treated effectively at an alternative level of care.
• Multiple acute complexities as determined by a physician assessment and subsequent documentation requiring daily physician intervention.
