Long Term Acute Care in Bangalore
Bridging the gap between hospital discharge and full recovery — with 24/7 medical supervision, ICU-trained nursing, and personalized rehabilitation at six centres across Bangalore.
What Is Long Term Acute Care?
Long term acute care (LTAC) refers to specialized medical and rehabilitative care for patients who remain medically complex after a hospital stay — people who are too well for an ICU but not yet stable or independent enough to go home.
- Active medical supervision by qualified physicians
- Skilled nursing care (often 24/7)
- Intensive physiotherapy and rehabilitation tailored to the patient’s condition
- Psychosocial support including counselling and dietary management
- A structured plan to progressively restore independence
In India, this critical phase of care is frequently overlooked. Patients are discharged from hospitals before they are truly ready, and families are left to manage complex medical needs at home — often without the expertise, equipment, or time to do it safely.
Sukino Healthcare was founded specifically to solve this problem.
Who Needs Long Term Acute Care in Bangalore?
Long term acute care is the right option when a patient has been discharged — or is due to be discharged — from a hospital, but still requires medical attention and structured recovery that home care alone cannot provide. Common situations include:
- Post-stroke patients who need months of physiotherapy, speech therapy, and neurological rehab before regaining independence
- Patients with traumatic brain injury (TBI) requiring slow, supervised neurological recovery
- Post-surgical patients recovering from CABG, craniotomy, spinal surgery, or total joint replacement who need skilled wound care and step-down nursing
- Tracheostomy and ventilator-dependent patients who need specialized respiratory nursing before they can safely return home
- Patients with spinal cord injuries requiring multi-disciplinary rehabilitation over weeks or months
- Neurological condition patients — including Parkinson’s, multiple sclerosis, Guillain-Barré syndrome — needing long-term structured monitoring and therapy
- Elderly patients with multiple comorbidities who are medically fragile after hospitalization
- Oncology patients in recovery from surgery, chemotherapy, or radiation who need nutritional and rehabilitative support
- Patients following prolonged ICU stays who experience ICU-acquired weakness and need step-down care
If your loved one’s doctor has said ‘they’re not ready to go home yet, but we need the bed’ — you are looking for long term acute care.

Why Long Term Hospitalisation Without the Right Care Is Dangerous
Families often believe that keeping a patient in a hospital longer is the safest option. In practice, prolonged hospitalisation without active rehabilitation carries real risks:
- Hospital-acquired infections increase with extended bed stays
- Muscle wasting and deconditioning sets in rapidly in passive, bed-bound patients
- Psychological decline — depression, disorientation, and loss of motivation — are common in hospital-confined patients with no goal-oriented recovery plan
- Pressure sores and complications arise when nursing care is stretched thin across general wards
What patients in this phase truly need is not more hospital time — they need a structured, medically supervised transition into active recovery. This is what long term acute care rehabilitation is designed to deliver.

- Step 5 — Transition to Home: When the patient is ready, Sukino can continue their care through our managed home care programme, ensuring there is no gap in support as they return home.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Long term acute care (LTAC) provides extended medical supervision and active rehabilitation for patients who are medically complex after a hospital stay.
