What Are Swing Beds?

YOU ARE CLOSE TO FAMILY,
WE TREAT YOU LIKE FAMILY.

Swing Beds are a special program offered by rural hospitals to patients with ‘Traditional’ Medicare.  This program allows patients extra time to recover with services specially designed to help the patient and their family with recovery after an illness, injury or surgery.  Our staff becomes an extension of your family and continuity of care is provided by your local physician responsible for your ongoing care during recovery and beyond.

IV Therapy

Recovering at home isn’t easy for those who still need to have Intravenous Therapy after their stay in a hospital.  Our nursing staff will administer IV therapy for the patient.

PHYSICAL, OCCUPATIONAL AND SPEECH THERAPY

Our staff of professional therapists will help build strength, balance and work to restore functional ability for those who need additional work after a hospital stay.  Their goal is to get the patient able to return home safer and stronger.

Education

Teaching and training the patient and/or family to help the patient be more successful once they return home.  Learning the proper care during their stay is key to a successful patient recovery.
