Intermediate care is an umbrella term for a range of services that deliver short term care, support or rehabilitation to patients who have suffered a sudden onset of ill health.
The service bridges the gap between hospital and home, helping patients recover more quickly, so that they can cope in their own home and so prevent unnecessary admission to hospital or premature admission to long-term nursing or residential care.
Within Locala there are two 20 bed rehabilitation centres, Oakmoor in Huddersfield and Westmoor in Dewsbury and a dedicated nursing team. There are two rehab centres: Ings Grove House and Moorlands Grange. There are also nursing beds in South Kirklees
