our role In tHe post-acute contInuum of care :: The majority of post-acute care is currently provided in skilled nursing facilities. From 1976 to 2003, hospital readmissions within 60 days of discharge from a SNF experienced a relative increase of 25 percent (American Health Care Association Annual Quality Report, 2011). Offer your patients another choice with transitional care through Allevant.
