Some medical conditions require ongoing specialised care long after the acute phase of illness or injury has passed. Whether recovering from a life-changing event, living with a chronic neurological condition, or requiring long-term respiratory support, patients and their families often need continuous medical expertise delivered in a safe, supportive environment.
At Specialized Rehabilitation Hospital (SRH) Abu Dhabi, our Long-Term Care programme provides comprehensive, physician-led care for children and adults with complex medical needs. Through coordinated medical management, skilled nursing, rehabilitation therapies, and family-centred support, we help patients maintain health, preserve function, prevent complications, and achieve the highest possible quality of life.
Long-Term Care at SRH is designed for individuals whose medical, nursing, and rehabilitation needs extend beyond a traditional hospital stay. Our multidisciplinary team provides continuous care tailored to each patient’s condition, goals, and changing needs.
Rather than focusing solely on recovery, long-term care aims to promote comfort, preserve independence wherever possible, manage complex medical conditions, and support overall wellbeing. Every care plan is personalised to ensure patients receive the right combination of medical treatment, rehabilitation, respiratory care, nutritional support, and psychosocial services throughout their journey.
Long-Term Care may be appropriate for children and adults who:
Require ongoing medical and nursing care following serious illness or injury.
Live with neurological or neuromuscular conditions requiring continuous support.
Require long-term respiratory or ventilator support.
Have complex disabilities requiring multidisciplinary management.
Need assistance with mobility, communication, nutrition, or activities of daily living.
Require continuous monitoring to help maintain health, function, and quality of life.
Every patient’s journey is guided by a personalised care plan developed by an experienced multidisciplinary team and reviewed regularly to meet evolving medical and rehabilitation needs.
We begin with a detailed assessment of each patient's medical condition, functional abilities, rehabilitation needs, and personal goals. This allows our team to develop an individualised plan of care that reflects the patient's current health status and long-term priorities.
Our physicians, nurses, therapists, and allied health professionals work together to coordinate medical management, rehabilitation therapies, respiratory care, nutritional support, and psychosocial services according to each patient's unique needs.
Patients receive around-the-clock medical supervision and skilled nursing alongside physiotherapy, occupational therapy, speech and language therapy, respiratory therapy, and other specialised services where appropriate. This integrated approach helps preserve function, prevent complications, and support overall wellbeing.
Families are an important part of the care journey. We encourage open communication, involve loved ones in care planning where appropriate, and regularly review treatment goals to ensure care continues to reflect each patient's changing needs.
Our programme brings together a wide range of specialised services to provide coordinated care under one roof.
Our goal is to provide care that supports not only medical stability but also the highest possible quality of life. Through coordinated long-term care, we aim to help patients achieve:
Greater comfort and overall wellbeing.
Preservation of physical, cognitive, and functional abilities.
Prevention of avoidable medical complications.
Safe and effective management of complex medical conditions.
Increased participation in meaningful daily activities wherever possible.
Confidence and reassurance for patients and their families through continuous, coordinated care.
Long-Term Care provides ongoing medical, nursing, and rehabilitation support for individuals whose health conditions require continuous specialised care beyond the acute hospital setting.
