'Swing bed' transitional care
Sometimes we need extra recovery time and rehabilitation after a hospital stay or surgery. This transitional care, known as "Swing Bed" under Medicare, can be the answer if you or a loved one no longer needs to stay in the hospital but still needs rehabilitation and/or nursing services before going home.
Gundersen St. Elizabeth's Swing Bed program provides a combination of independence, customization and skilled care. Our multi-disciplinary care team is focused on helping you achieve better health in a friendly and supportive environment.
