following an inpatient hospitalization. With compassionate care and 7-day per week therapy, patients can heal and gain strength to transition back to their own home safely to enjoy their
daily activities. The average length of stay is 1-2 weeks, but each patient has different needs.

Why is it called Swing Bed?

The Swing Bed concept allows hospitals in rural areas to offer services for both acute care and rehabilitation care. The hospital can use the same facilities for both types of patients, or “swing”
the use of the room or bed between acute care patients and rehabilitation patients. Call (208) 354-6354 with questions or for more information!
