Feedback:
Rehabilitation care provides physical and occupational therapy to clients and families to help individuals regain as much independence with ADLs as possible. Hospices provide care for clients diagnosed with a terminal illness whose life expectancy is fewer than 6 months. Ambulatory care is also a short-term outpatient care. Acute care facilities are facilities that provide care to clients of higher acuity.
