‘Swing bed’ is simply a Medicare term designating skilled nursing care following an inpatient hospital stay. WNH's swing bed program continues the circle of care provided by our healthcare team. Your personalized in-hospital care and physical rehabilitation set you on a path to recovery, bridging the gap between acute hospitalization to home. Benefits include on-site physicians, 24-hour nursing coverage, physical, occupational & speech therapies, dietitian, laboratory, hospital pharmacy, respiratory care, & case management services.
"We help you get stronger, and back to doing the things you were doing before your illness or injury. Swing bed helps people get one step closer to going home safely," Lola Potucek, Discharge Planner & Swing Bed Coordinator.
