B
Technological advances allow treatment in a short-term facility that previously required a hospital stay. Ambulatory care centers meet the needs of these clients and avoid a costly inpatient stay. They may or may not be open 24 hours, 7 days a week. A person who needed help with self-care would probably need in-home or hospital care. And since care duration is less than 24 hours, sleeping accommodations are not provided as part of ambulatory care centers.
