Inpatient
Acute Care
Our 13-bed inpatient wing offers private patient rooms that are equipped with the latest technology to provide whatever services are needed for the patients in our care. Acute care patients receive active, but short-term treatment for a severe injury or episode of illness, an urgent medical condition, or during recovery from surgery. In addition to nurses and medical providers, care is provided by other healthcare professionals including a respiratory therapist, pharmacist, occupational therapists, and physical therapists. Our team works together to ensure thorough evaluation and care for all acute care patients..
Care Coordination
The nursing care coordinator partners with patients, family members, healthcare professionals, and community services. This provides patient-centered, coordinated care that connects patients to community resources to avoid unnecessary hospitalizations and readmissions. In addition, the care coordinator actively manages transitions in care and supports the patient in managing their own health conditions through patient engagement and education.
Swing Bed Program
This program provides temporary nursing home care in a hospital setting. Some individuals who may benefit from this include patients transferred from another hospital to complete their recovery, hospitalized patients who need more time for therapy or other treatment, and patients who need care until a nursing home bed is available. Swing bed also can provide relief to individuals who are caring for a family member at home.
Swing bed care can be paid in a variety of ways including commercial insurance, medicare, medicaid, worker's compensation or self pay. Some nursing home insurance policies also pay for swing bed care. Swing bed services include
