Unit: LTC (VAU/TCU/ECN), Ratios: VAU: 1:5-7, TCU: 1:7-10, ECN: 1:24. Acute Rehab is located on the first floor and consists of the following units: A1: (15 beds) - Spinal Cord injuries A2: (15 beds) - Brain injuries A3: Not used currently A4: (20 beds) - Stroke and overflow patients. All units in Acute Rehab have the same ratios and are each staffed with a Case Manager, Social Worker, Hospitalist, and Charge Nurse. Patients in these units receive 3+ hours of therapy each day. MRSH is located on the second floor with complex patient population, such as TBIs, ventilators, tracheostomies, burns (due to transfers from St. E's), and IV therapy. Patients receive 1.5+ hours of therapy a day. Support will float between Acute Rehab and MRSH departments. Acute Rehab ratio is Days 1:5-6, Nights 1:6-7. A1 (unit) may have patients that require bowel care and Madonna will train on this skill. Vent experience is not required as Respiratory Therapy will manage all vents; however, RN must be able to ensure vent is connected to patient and troubleshoot alarms. MRSH ratio is Days 1:1-3; Nights 1:1-4. Nurse Assistants are part of the care model on both departments.
