After surgery or hospitalization, some patients require additional care and are transferred to a nursing home or rehabilitation facility to help improve their physical functioning. At Carnegie Tri-County Municipal Hospital, we can “swing” you from the hospital into our Swing Bed Program, which includes skilled nursing, physical rehabilitation, and other services based on your treatment plan. Even if you were hospitalized elsewhere, you can transfer to the Swing Bed Program at Carnegie Tri-County Municipal Hospital, bringing you closer to your family.
Patients who would benefit from Carnegie Tri-County Municipal Hospital’s Swing Bed Program are those who have already been in the hospital for at least 3 days but require additional nursing care and/or rehabilitation services on a daily basis. Stays usually last from one to three weeks.
Our focus is to improve your functional, nutritional, and medical health so you can return home. Our team of doctors, nurses, and rehabilitation therapists (physical, occupational, and respiratory), along with a social worker, a dietitian, and a case manager, will work with you, your family, and your physician to create a customized treatment plan designed to help you achieve your treatment goals.
