Swing Bed

Huron Regional Medical Center’s (HRMC) swing bed care provides short-term, skilled nursing and rehabilitative services when you no longer require inpatient acute or specialized care. It bridges the gap between inpatient care at the hospital and returning home.

Patients with a variety of health issues can benefit from the services.While receiving swing bed care, the focus will be on self-care, increasing independence and learning or relearning the skills needed in everyday life. For others, however, the focus of swing bed care might be for limiting activity, monitoring of a medical condition and supervising medications.

Medicare Part A and private insurance may pay for skilled care in the swing bed. To be eligible for swing bed care, you are required to have three consecutive calendar days of acute hospital care within the last 30 days prior to being admitted to swing bed care. Transfers are also accepted from other acute care facilities.
