SWING BEDS

SURGICAL SERVICES

SURGICAL SERVICES

A Swing Bed (or Rehabilitation Bed) is a Medicare program designed to provide additional inpatient care to those needing extra time to heal or strengthen before returning home. These Swing beds are located on the Acute Care Unit.
The term “swing bed” came from the idea that the patient will “swing” or “transition” from inpatient acute care through the program and return home to the same level of independence prior to entering the hospital. Swing beds allow the physician to “swing” the level of care from “acute” to “skilled rehabilitation.”
Often the swing bed is used for patients who have had surgery such as hip surgery, joint replacement or major surgery. Patients who have received this type of treatment at either our hospital or another facility who need to recover from an episode of illness may have this opportunity to transition from acute care into a swing bed before returning to their communities amongst their family and friends.
At Montgomery General Hospital, our top priority for swing beds is to assist patients in recovering their independence and mobility through intensive therapeutic sessions. In collaboration with a physician, our skilled nurses and therapists evaluate each patient’s capacity and develop a program to meet achievable goals.
