Silver Lake Hospital

Silver Lake Hospital is a specialized acute care facility located in Newark, New Jersey. It is dedicated to providing intensive and customized treatment for patients with complex medical conditions requiring extended recovery periods.

Unlike general hospitals that typically offer short-term care, Silver Lake Hospital focuses on long-term acute care (LTAC). It caters to patients who have not responded adequately to traditional short-term treatments. The average length of stay at Silver Lake Hospital is approximately 25 days, compared to the 3-5 day average in general hospitals.

Medical Team

The hospital's clinical team comprises experienced and well-respected cardiologists, neurologists, pulmonologists, and other specialists. They are supported by compassionate nurses, respiratory therapists, dietitians, and rehabilitation therapists. This multidisciplinary approach ensures comprehensive care tailored to each patient's needs.

Services Provided

Silver Lake Hospital offers a range of services including 24/7 House MD coverage, daily physician visits, and multi-specialty medical and surgical consultations. Additional services include case management and social work support for patients.

The facility also provides critical care nursing, a high observation unit, dietitian services, and rehabilitation therapies such as physical, speech, and occupational therapies. Certified wound care specialists are available, and pricing estimates for services are offered.

Center for Wound Care and Healing

For patients requiring advanced wound care, the hospital's Center for Wound Care and Healing offers specialized treatments including Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT). HBOT involves patients entering a pressurized chamber delivering 100% pure oxygen to promote healing.

This therapy increases oxygen delivery to damaged tissues and activates the immune system to fight infections. The facility is equipped with four state-of-the-art hyperbaric oxygen monoplace chambers, which are monitored by certified staff.

Dual Diagnosis Department

The hospital also addresses the needs of patients with dual diagnoses — those experiencing both psychiatric and substance use disorders. The Dual Diagnosis Department provides quality, compassionate behavioral health care in a secure environment.

The program aims to stabilize both conditions simultaneously and is designed to meet individualized needs. It offers support and expertise to facilitate recovery for patients.
