Carle began offering subacute services in February, 1997, in conjunction with the Illinois Department of Public Health Subacute Care Hospital Demonstration Project. The Carle Subacute Center was developed for people who no longer require hospitalization, yet still need comprehensive medical care or rehabilitation before returning home.

Carle is one of thirteen facilities participating in the Illinois Department of Public Health Subacute Care Hospital Demonstration Project. This project was developed to assess the viability of this level of service as well as its cost efficacy. Carle has been participating in this demonstration project for more than two years, and now offers the first program of its kind in Central Illinois.

Subacute services are provided by a team of skilled professionals, including physical, occupational, and speech therapists, registered nurses, pain management specialists, nutritionists, social workers, counselors and discharge planners. This team works together to design a plan of treatment which addresses the care needs of each patient, promoting a quick recovery and return home.
