Patients are referred to the Swing Bed Nursing Unit when they are considered by their physicians to be medically stable, have the potential to improve and agree to participate in their recovery process.
Prior to admission, each patient is carefully assessed to determine whether his or her condition can benefit from services offered.
Patients admitted to the Swing Bed Nursing Unit at Ohio County Healthcare will benefit from our unique care model which combines the security and resources available in a hospital setting with the coordinated interdisciplinary team approach of comprehensive rehabilitation. This “blending” allows us to provide medical and physical rehabilitation to patients who may require prompt access to family physician, specialists, diagnostic services or emergent care right here at home.
As a transitional care option, our Swing Bed Nursing Unit patients utilize their skilled nursing benefits to defray the costs of treatment. Insurance coverage is based on the individual patient’s condition and need for skilled and/or rehabilitative services rather than a diagnosis.
