Whether you need us for inpatient care, rehabilitation, specialty services or an emergency, we’re here for you.

Recover with 'Swing Bed' transitional care
Sometimes extra recovery time and rehabilitation are needed 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 Tri-County'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.
How do I qualify for Swing Bed?
You can recover in a Swing Bed program closest to you if:
- You spent at least 3 nights in a hospital within the past 30 days
- Your provider finds you need daily skilled care after your treatment in the hospital
- You have Medicare A or another hospital-based insurance with skilled care benefits
