Swingbed

What is Swingbed?

Swingbed is a subacute program for Medicare patients who are ready for discharge under Medicare criteria but need a little extra care before they go home.  You will remain in a regular hospital bed on the Swingbed Unit.  Rehabilitative services are the primary focus behind the Swingbed mission, although some patients come for brief medical management.

Swingbed Mission:

The Swingbed mission is functional restoration of both physical and psychological being to achievement of the highest level of functional improvement within the constraints of resources available to the patient.

• The Swingbed Medical Director is Dr. Don Blackwood. The Medical Director will maintain close clinical consultation with the attending physician.
• Our Swingbed Director is Brad Cooper. The Swingbed Medical Director directs the weekly interdisciplinary team meeting to oversee quality patient care.
• Patient, family/caregiver, involvement is an integral part to achieve the highest standard of care.
