RML Specialty Hospital: The Leader In LTCHs

Traditional hospitals offer a wide range of general services, but beyond a typical stay for an illness, a hospital isn’t ideal for long-term recovery.  Patients needing more specialized care for a longer period of time are admitted into a Long Term Acute Care Hospital (LTCH).  An LTCH is designed to serve patients who need intensive, extended, specialized care.  Many patients move directly from Intensive Care Units (ICUs) of traditional hospitals into an LTCH, which can act as an extension of an ICU.

RML Specialty Hospital is a leading LTCH in the nation, with locations in Hinsdale and Chicago.  After a pre-admission screening, patients admitted to are treated using a multi-disciplinary team approach to meet their individual needs.  Each patient receives active physician involvement during their stay, provided by around-the-clock, on-site physicians.

LTCHs are state-licensed and Joint Commission accredited, and offer very high standards of care with a specialized list of services provided.  RML Specialty Hospital offers ventilator weaning, post surgical wound management; they treat patients with COPD and respiratory failure and trauma patients.  RML also offers physical, occupational, and speech therapies based on patients’ individual needs and abilities.

RML Specialty Hospital works diligently to be involved with the communities they serve.  RML sponsors the American Lung Association’s annual Walk and Climb events.  They host food and school supply drives to provide assistance to local families in need.  RML employees donate to Adopt-a-Family and Angel Tree, which provide holiday gifts to hundreds of families in the surrounding communities.  RML’s philanthropic Development Council, supported by community volunteer members, sponsors events such as “Toast to Our Friends” and an annual golf outing, to raise funds to assist patients’ family members in need with transportation, meals, and other needs.
