About Our Hospital
Committed to Care
ContinueCARE Hospital at Baptist Health Paducah opened in the summer of 2015 as a 37-bed Long Term Acute Care Hospital (LTACH) located on the fifth floor of our host hospital, Baptist Health Paducah.
The hospital is a non-profit organization that provides care with an interdisciplinary approach, developing individualized care plans, encouraging family and/or caregiver participation, to achieve optimal patient outcomes. Our hospitals are licensed under Medicare as long-term acute care hospitals, providing care for critically ill and medically complex patients who require a longer acute care stay than a traditional hospital.
As the only LTACH in the area, we enjoy the best of both worlds by being in partnership with a 373-bed acute and skilled-care facility yet maintaining our small hospital atmosphere. Our employees are a dedicated team who work together delivering the best possible care for our patients. Since we have a longer length of stay, our staff has the opportunity to know patients and families. We believe spending quality time makes a difference. And we want to make a difference.
