The Center for Successful Aging at MedStar Health Good Samaritan Hospital and MedStar Health Home Care have partnered to create the Subacute at Home (“SaH”) program. This initiative addresses disparities and gaps in elder care in Baltimore City, Maryland. The program focuses on the most vulnerable older adults, often in underserved communities, by providing an intensive 30-day post-acute hospital rehabilitation, nursing and medical treatment plan as an alternative to placement in a skilled nursing facility.
