A "Swing Bed" is a skilled level of care available at Newman Memorial Hospital for patients who are no longer needing an acute level of care, but are not yet healthy enough or strong enough to return home. Patients are eligible for swing bed after a 3-midnight stay in the hospital (within the last 30 days).
Our program offers a comfortable transition between hospital and home, allowing you to continue your recovery in a familiar environment with the support of our dedicated team.
