"A Gem in the World of Healthcare"
Silver Lake Patient 7/5/24
Silver Lake Hospital is specifically designed to focus on patients with clinically complex medical conditions that require intensive and customized treatment for an extended period of recovery time. Our team specializes in Long-Term Acute Care to service the needs of patients who may require extended treatment, as well as complex Wound Care and Dual Diagnosis patients.
This is Our Story
Our Specialties
Long-Term Acute Care Hospital
Silver Lake Hospital is an acute care specialty hospital that provides highly advanced and intensively focused care for higher acuity patients who have not responded adequately to short-term treatment in the traditional general hospital setting. In addition, an average length of stay at Silver Lake Hospital is 25 days as compared to a 3-5-day average in a general hospital. Nursing homes as opposed to long-term acute care hospitals, offer less intensive, sub-acute services typically seen after a general hospital stay. Fundamentally, patients appropriate for this kind of care include those who may be ventilator dependent, suffer from multi-organ failure or have deep wound ulcerations.
Dual Diagnosis Department
Our Dual Diagnosis Department offers quality, compassionate behavioral health care for adults who have been struggling with psychiatric and substance use disorders. Mental health concerns and psychiatric illnesses often go hand in hand with substance abuse. Many people who suffer from both mental health problems, such as depression or anxiety, and simultaneously have substance abuse problems are most often described as dual diagnosis patients.
If you struggle with both psychiatric symptoms and substance abuse problems, we will provide a secure and safe place to stabilize both complications in our state-of-the-art hospital setting. Our team of highly qualified clinicians have comprehensive experience treating dually diagnosed patients. Our dual diagnosis program is designed to address and meet your individualized needs and provide the support and expertise required to make your recovery a reality.
Center for Wound Care & Healing
Our Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) option is a specialized treatment that allows patients to enter a pressurized chamber which delivers 100% pure oxygen. It achieves this by increasing the air pressure in the chamber by two to three times that of regular air pressure. The concentrated hyperbaric dose of oxygen helps patient’s blood carry more oxygen to the damaged organs and tissues to promote wound healing. It can also activate the immune system to help fight against infections.
Our facility has 4 state-of-the-art hyperbaric oxygen monoplace chambers monitored by our hyperbaric and wound care certified staff.

Silver Lake Hospital is truly a gem in the world of healthcare. From the moment you walk through the doors, you are greeted with warmth and professionalism. The staff is not only highly skilled and knowledgeable, but also compassionate and caring. They took care of my dad who was a vent depend patient and they were able to get him free of the vent in less than one month! This facility is top-notch, with state-of-the-art equipment and a calming atmosphere that promotes healing and comfort. What sets this hospital apart is the personalized care that each patient receives. The doctors take the time to listen to your concerns and explain everything in a way that is easy to understand. The nurses go above and beyond to make sure you are comfortable and well taken care of during your stay. Overall, I cannot recommend Silver Lake Hospital enough. If you are looking for a healthcare provider that combines expertise with compassion, look no further than Silver Lake Hospital.Thank you to Silver Lake Hospital for helping my dad! ❤️

My mother in law was transferred this facility and we were concerned because we weren't able to view the facility prior to her admission. Once she was there the staff assured the family they would take good care of her and that is exactly what they did. There were several nights we were allowed to stay with mom past visiting hours as she was very very sick. Tamara Perry is a patient advocate and she was very dedicated, patient and attentive to my mom and our needs or any concerns we had. Tamara and the staff would go out there way to ensure my mom had all she needed, constantly checking on us along with providing daily updates. She and a few staff members knew us by name giving us comfort in our decision. Another excellent subject to touch on was cleanliness. The facility was always clean and smelled of bleach and cleaning products. The maintenance staff was always present. Overall Silver Lakes was a very good facility and I highly recommend this facility.Hugs and kisses to the staff!
