Swing Bed-REHAB U Transitional Care at Wilson Medical Center
Following an acute hospital stay, there are times when a patient may not be strong enough to return home. Certain patients can be eligible for a continuation of skilled services through a Swing Bed Program. Our Swing Bed Program, REHAB U, offers patients the ability to remain close to home while gaining strength and independence to return home. REHAB U provides patients with a variety of skilled nursing services. Examples of skilled care may include: IV Therapy, Skin and Wound Care, Physical Therapy, Occupational Therapy, Speech Therapy, Respiratory Therapy, or Pain Management.
These services are provided under the direction of a physician and provided on a daily basis. Each patient will have individualized goals to reach the highest level of independence possible.

REHAB U, like other swing bed programs, is a federally-approved program that allows critical access hospitals, like ours, to use regular patient rooms to provide this special care.
Eligibility Requirements:








The focus of REHAB U is on improving your functional, nutritional, and medical condition. During your stay, our multidisciplinary team will collaborate with you to create a Discharge Plan and set functional and health goals.
