The Alliance for Recovery Care promotes patient access to “post-acute” care in hospitals and clinics, helping patients recover from serious illnesses.
We are a coalition of healthcare providers who support the cause of “recovery care.”
Our main offices are in Arlington, Virginia in suburban Washington, D.C. We are incorporated in the Commonwealth of Virginia and organized under Internal Revenue Code section 501(c)(6).
What is recovery care?
Recovery Care refers to the care provided to patients after a stay in an acute care hospital. This type of care covers a range of medical services that support the individual's continued recovery from illness or management of a chronic illness or disability. For this reason, Medicare sometimes refers to this as "Post-Acute Care."
After a hospitalization, injury, or illness, many patients require continued medical care, either at home or in a specialized facility. Depending on the intensity of the care the patient requires, treatment may include an inpatient stay in a facility, ongoing outpatient therapy, or care provided at home. As of 2014, approximately one quarter of all hospitalized patients were referred to some form of recovery care following their hospital stay.
