Understanding Patient and Care Partner Experiences With Rehabilitation After Hospitalization for Advanced Heart Failure: “I Was Thinking I’d Just Be Like I Was Before I Got This”

Our findings characterize patient and care partner experiences with post-acute rehabilitation and identify areas for improvement that may support the development of more effective post-acute rehabilitation interventions in advanced HF.
