A Quiet
Suburban Setting:
Rye Hospital Center is a fully accredited, private, freestanding
hospital in the small city of Rye, in Westchester County, New York,
and an affiliated teaching
center of New York Medical College. Its suburban setting contributes
to patients' comfort and serenity.
Going
Home:
At
Rye, planning for the patient's return home begins soon after
admission to ensure effective post-discharge functioning. The
plans evolve from what patient, family and staff learn during
hospitalization.
Planning
for a Future:
In
these days of managed care, patients often enter hospitals for care "managed" by telephone phantoms who have never clinically
seen the patient. Therefore, program planning for discharge may be
based largely on formulas and statistical expectations. Rye
Hospital Center refuses to use bureaucratic
"shrink-wrapped" programs that send patients out into the
world unprepared, possibly overmedicated and often undertreated. Our Social
Services tailor discharge planning to the patient and family needs,
too. Look further in the website to find out why and how.
