Medical - Medical: Health Care
Portuguese term or phrase: Hospital de Retaguarda
I have this term in a medical document, and while I know what it is I have no idea what the correct term is in English, and even if there is one - hospitals for prolongued or chronic care.

Hospital de Retaguarda atende a pacientes que necessitam de internação ou tratamento prolongado

Thanks!

long-stay hospital


Explanation:
Pelo que entendi, são hospitais de baixa complexidade para pessoas que precisam de apoio médico e de enfermagem especializados, quando é inviável mantê-los em home care, ou seja, em casa com cuidadores profissionais 24/7.

De um modo geral, destinam se a pacientes idosos (vide link de um exemplo abaixo) e/ou em fase terminal que possa se prolongar indefinidamente.

Esses hospitais NÃO têm recursos técnicos para pronto-socorro nem cirurgias. Qualquer intercorrência mais grave os fará estabilizar o paciente dentro do possível (e costumam ter o que é preciso para isso) e levá-lo de ambulância para um hospital convencional.
