Programs and Services Overview
BridgePoint is a Washington D.C. based healthcare provider with two advanced continuing care hospitals and two sub-acute & rehab facilities. We are the only long-term acute care hospital in a 50-mile radius, specializing in clinically complex patients. Our goal is to enhance patients’ quality of life through comprehensive care in a nurturing environment.
What is an LTACH
A Long-Term Acute Care Hospital (LTACH) is a unique type of hospital that serves the medically complex, critically ill and catastrophically injured population. We provide an acute level of care to patients requiring a longer hospitalization and greater levels of care.
At times, patients in a Short-Term Acute Care Hospital (STACH) require longer periods of hospitalization due to acute illness or complications of surgery or trauma. Once the patient is stabilized, it can be weeks before the patient is ready to be transferred to a Skilled Nursing Facility, Acute Rehabilitation Facility, or home.
The goal of an LTACH is to rehabilitate patients to a healthcare setting which will allow them greater independence and medical stability.

Connect With Your Clinical Liaison
Partnerships with Skilled Nursing Facilities
BridgePoint Continuing Care Hospitals provide SNF to Long-Term Acute Care Hospital (LTACH) transfers to reduce readmissions and ensure safe, seamless transitions. Expanded OR capabilities allow more procedures for SNF patients, with liaisons supporting smooth returns and physicians providing peer-to-peer care coordination.
Why SNF to LTACH transfers are beneficial:
Clinical Appropriateness for Complex Procedures
LTACHs provide extended hospital-level care for medically complex patients, including specialized procedures not available in SNFs. With ICU support, OR services, and 24/7 intensivist and respiratory coverage, LTACHs ensure patients get the right care at the right time without returning to short-stay hospitals.
Improved Patient Outcomes
Direct transfers from SNFs to LTACHs minimize the disruption and delays often associated with emergency hospital admissions. Families benefit from faster access to needed services and continuity in medical oversight, avoiding the disjointed experience of multiple hospital stays.
Reduce Hospital Readmissions
Transferring patients from SNFs to LTACHs instead of acute care hospitals helps reduce unnecessary readmissions. LTACHs can manage patients with advanced needs like ventilator weaning, wound care, and complex IV therapy, preventing further hospitalization.
Patient and Family-Centered Benefits
For families, LTACH transfers help reduce the stress and disruption of hospital readmissions. They allow for a smoother, more controlled transition to a higher level of care while maintaining continuity in the patient’s treatment.
Enhanced Care Coordination
BridgePoint’s LTACH physicians, surgeons, and intensivists collaborate closely with SNF physicians to review each case prior to LTACH admission. During the patient’s stay, SNF liaisons and LTACH case managers coordinate care planning and ensure a smooth transition back to the SNF.
