A unique collaboration between University of Limerick and UL Hospitals Group has led to the opening of an Intermediate Care Facility on the grounds of the UL campus.
The UL Hospitals Group Intermediate Care Facility (ICF) located in the UL Sport Arena was opened today, Monday, by UL President Dr Des Fitzgerald and Colette Cowan, CEO of UL Hospitals Group.
The ICF is a fully staffed and fully equipped Model One hospital facility that will provide care for non-Covid patients who are fit for discharge from any of the acute hospitals in UL Hospitals Group, but who would benefit from further rehabilitation, or may be waiting to go into long term care.
Open to accept patients from today, the 68-bed facility, with capacity to scale up to 84 beds, is laid out in partitioned wards, and is fitted out with a typical ward support accommodation such as clean and dirty utilities, pharmacy, pantry, staff change, clinical treatment areas, two recreation areas, and four enclosed rooms.
