About

Sharp Coronado Hospital Subacute Unit in Coronado at 255 Soledad Place in 92118 provides extended-stay skilled nursing for patients requiring ventilator weaning, complex wound management, and transitional medical support between acute hospitalization and home discharge. The unit operates within the Sharp HealthCare system and shares the Prospect Place campus with Sharp Coronado Hospital, giving clinical staff immediate access to ICU-level resources, imaging, and laboratory services if a patient's condition escalates. Care protocols cover IV therapy, tracheostomy management, oxygen therapy, enteral feeding, ostomy care, and pain management under 24-hour skilled nursing oversight. Patients stepping down from the subacute unit into longer-term residential care transition to facilities including Villa Coronado Skilled Nursing Facility, which holds its own Planetree certification on the same campus and coordinates directly with the subacute discharge team. Rehabilitative programming integrates physical, occupational, and speech therapy into each patient's weekly schedule, with outpatient follow-up available at Water & Sports Physical Therapy on Orange Avenue for patients cleared to continue recovery off campus. The specialized wound care program and respiratory therapy services consistently drive high demand, with the unit frequently maintaining a waiting list for new admissions.
