Extended Critical Illness Recovery When You or Your Loved One Needs It Most
After a serious injury, illness, or surgery, the average hospital stay allowed by insurance providers can be as little as just four to five days. In order to make a full recovery and regain at-home independence, many patients will require more care and rehabilitation.

Your Team
The Numbers
Unlike a skilled nursing facility (SNF), critical illness recovery hospitals (also known as Long Term Acute Care Hospitals) provide the same level of care you receive in a traditional hospital. With a better nurse-to-patient ratio, more nursing hours per day, private rooms, and access to specialists, you receive a higher quality of care than in a SNF. At AMG Specialty Hospital – Lafayette, you’ll always receive a higher quality of care, so you can recover more fully.
