We Can Help You Transition Home
Swing Bed is a skilled nursing and rehabilitation program designed to help patients transition from the hospital to home. Following a qualifying hospital stay of at least three nights, patients receive continued medical care and rehabilitation services in a supportive inpatient setting.
Our interdisciplinary team of hospitalists, nurses, therapists, and case managers works together to create an individualized care plan based on each patient's needs. Services may include physical, occupational, and speech therapy, IV antibiotic therapy, wound care, respiratory therapy, and other skilled nursing services.
This short-term, goal-oriented program provides the extra time, support, and daily therapies patients need to recover from surgery, illness, stroke, or injury. By focusing on strength, independence, and confidence, Swing Bed helps patients achieve a safe and successful return home.
