Intermediate Swing Bed

Inpatient Care for Transitional Needs

What is an Intermediate Swing Bed?

An Intermediate Swing Bed is designed to provide inpatient care for individuals who need assistance with daily living activities after a hospitalization or illness. At Hodgeman County Health Center, our Intermediate Swing Bed services offer a supportive environment where patients can recover and transition toward long-term care or back to their homes. While Medicare does not cover these beds, they can be covered privately through some Long Term Care Insurance and the Medicaid program. If you have any questions about coverage, our team is here to assist you.
