Transitional Care Unit
The Transitional Care Unit (TCU) at Oak Valley Hospital offers skilled nursing and rehabilitation services for patients who are recovering from an acute illness, injury, or surgery but are not yet ready to return home or to an independent living environment.
Located within the hospital, the TCU provides short-term, post-acute care in a medically supported setting. Patients benefit from seamless access to the hospital’s full range of services, including diagnostic imaging, laboratory testing, and medical specialty consultations.
