FAQ
What is subacute versus post-acute care?
Subacute refers to conditions that fall in the area between acute and chronic. Post-acute is recovery care that follows a traditional hospital stay. In either case, it involves a period of recovery and rehabilitation.
What is the difference between a hospital and a rehabilitation facility?
A hospital’s goal is to stabilize a patient’s health. A rehabilitation facility focuses on improving a patient’s overall functionality, providing therapy and treatment that will help them achieve a maximum level of functionality.

At Briarcliff, we provide five types of treatment.
