What is a Swing Bed?

Despite the image created by the name, a "swing bed' is not a hammock or a bed suspended in any way. A swing bed program is designed to serve those individuals who are in a transition phase of illness or recovery until discharged. It is used for a second level of medically-supervised care, and is specially designed to fill the gap between the patient's hospital stay and going home. Patients may qualify for the program if they have been in a hospital in acute care for three days and require further skilled services, such as:

Acute/sub-acute rehabilitation (Physical, Speech and Occupational Therapy)
Discharge/Teaching Needs
Extended IV Therapy/Antibiotic Therapy
Extended wound care needs
Respiratory Therapy
