Kindred Hospital Brea Subacute Unit is a specialized healthcare facility located within the main campus of Kindred Hospital Brea. Designed as a 38-bed unit just inside the main entrance of the building and to the left, this subacute unit provides short-term comprehensive inpatient medical care and rehabilitation for individuals who are transitioning from hospital care but are not yet able to return home. The environment offers a critical bridge for patients with complex conditions who require specialized attention, ongoing monitoring, and advanced therapeutic support during their recovery journey.
The care team at Kindred Hospital Brea Subacute Unit is led by physicians and includes skilled clinicians who are equipped to manage a broad spectrum of serious and medically complicated conditions. Many patients served in the unit face challenges such as respiratory failure, complex wounds, sepsis, stroke, or congestive heart failure, sometimes complicated by underlying conditions like diabetes or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. The facility supports those who need advanced medical interventions, including those requiring mechanical ventilators, dialysis, or intravenous therapy. With a total hospital capacity of 48 beds, Kindred Hospital Brea also encompasses a 4-bed Intensive Care Unit and three negative pressure rooms designed to safely accommodate particularly serious or infectious cases.
The Subacute Unit is ideally suited for individuals experiencing a short-term illness, injury, or an escalation of a chronic disease process. These patients may not need the intensity of acute hospital care, yet require more comprehensive medical attention and rehabilitation than can be provided in a home setting. The team works closely with each patient to tailor a recovery plan, empowering them to progress in their health and gain the strength and confidence needed for the next step—whether that be a return home or to another level of care.
Surrounded by the amenities and conveniences of Brea, the hospital is situated less than a mile from a local junior high school and is in close proximity to numerous restaurants and shops. This location allows families and visitors to access the unit with ease, making patient visits more manageable during what can often be a challenging period for both patients and their loved ones. The commitment to patient-centered care and interdisciplinary coordination makes the Kindred Hospital Brea Subacute Unit a valuable resource for individuals in need of extended recovery and specialized medical support.
