A 110-bed long-term acute care hospital licensed by Medicare under provider ID 052044, Select Specialty Hospital - San Diego occupies the upper floors at 555 Washington Street and admits patients transferring out of short-term ICUs. The mechanical-ventilator weaning program reports a 70-percent success rate moving medically complex patients off vents, drawing transfers from the ICU at UC San Diego Health Hillcrest Emergency Department. Pulmonary care, complex wound care, dialysis for acute renal failure, and post-neurologic recovery anchor the four core service lines under NPI 1639172133. CARF-accredited inpatient rehab supports structured PT, OT, and speech therapy, with discharge planning that hands patients to Balboa Nursing and Rehabilitation Center for sub-acute step-down. The signature case here is multi-week ventilator liberation in patients with tracheostomies, ARDS sequelae, or COPD exacerbations who failed weaning at outside facilities.
