Advanced Complex Medical Care
in Cleveland
Specialized Clinical Intervention for the Most Challenging Cases When a medical condition involves multiple organ systems or requires advanced technology, standard skilled nursing is often insufficient. Larchwood Care provides High-Acuity Nursing, a specialized level of care designed for patients who are clinically stable but require frequent assessment and complex medical interventions. Our program serves as a critical “Step-Down” for patients transitioning from Cleveland-area intensive care units.

Frequently Ask Questions
Complex Medical Care & High-Acuity Nursing
Q: What is the difference between Skilled Nursing and High-Acuity Nursing? A: While skilled nursing covers general rehab and wound care, high-acuity nursing is for “medically fragile” patients who require more frequent monitoring, IV medications, or specialized medical equipment like feeding pumps or TPN.
Q: Can you accept a patient directly from an ICU or Step-Down unit? A: Yes. We work closely with clinical liaisons at Cleveland Clinic and MetroHealth to ensure that a patient’s high-acuity needs (like IV antibiotics or cardiac monitoring) are seamlessly transitioned to our facility.
Q: Do you manage TPN (Total Parenteral Nutrition) on-site? A: Yes. Our nursing team is specially trained in the administration and sterile site management required for TPN and other forms of intravenous nutrition.
