St Lukes Helen G Nassif Transitional Care Center

We recognize family and friends play an important role in your care. We encourage family and friends to meet with the UnityPoint Clinic nurse practitioner and nursing staff. Your guests are welcome any time. St. Luke's team will help guide you and your family through the many complexities of the healthcare system to make your transition home a seamless and pleasant experience.

St. Luke's has helped patients successfully transition from hospital to home for generations. Our short-term recovery and rehabilitation patients recovering from illness or surgery go home faster and are less likely to require rehospitalization than patients at other facilities in our community. Our facility focuses solely on short-term care and rehabilitation, patients will receive the same high level of care in a welcoming environment that is specifically designed for them.

You will know what is happening in your day. You and your loved ones will have access to your schedule through a web application (or paper, if you prefer), from where ever you are. This scheduling solution is powered by Skilled Day.

We can transport you from the hospital to our facility in our van, free of charge. This warm welcome decreases the stress and anxiety of the transition.

Our caregivers and staff are committed to delivering the care you need when you need it. Our highly-skilled team of providers, nurses, social workers physical, occupational and speech therapists design a personalized care plan for you with input and communication from the hospital doctors and your primary doctor. From daily visits by a nurse practitioner to a custom rehabilitation program geared at strengthening the body, all services are uniquely tailored to help you meet your individual health goals.
