Short Term Care

Short Term Care through Action Health Staffing

In general, conditions are either described as chronic or acute. While chronic conditions are long-term injuries or illnesses, acute conditions can happen suddenly. People suffering from acute conditions are usually able to recover in a relatively short period.

Short-term care provides a key role in helping patients with acute conditions transition back to health. Action Health Staffing provides short-term care to those in eastern North Carolina as they recover from injuries, surgeries, illnesses, and other conditions. Though the time may be short, our care is attentive and compassionate.

Whether it’s due to financial reasons or just a desire to regain a sense of normalcy, Action Health Staffing understands the draw of being at home. However, returning to everyday life can be a challenge during this transitional time and may require the assistance that short-term care can provide.
