FAQS
Common Questions
What is the difference between Patient Care Unit and Skilled Care?
Medical Surgical care supports patients with active medical needs. Skilled care is for those transitioning out of acute care but still needing nursing and rehabilitation.
How do I qualify for swing bed care?
Your provider and care team will determine if your condition meets Medicare or insurance guidelines for swing bed status.
Can I stay in the same room if I transition from inpatient to swing bed?
In many cases, yes. We aim to minimize disruption by keeping you in a familiar setting whenever possible.
Do I have access to the same level of nursing care in swing bed?
Yes. Skilled patients continue to receive 24/7 nursing support, including therapy and medical oversight.
What are observation beds used for?
Observation status allows up to 48 hours of care for diagnosis, symptom monitoring, or short-term treatment decisions.
Are pediatric patients treated here?
Yes. Our team is trained in pediatric care, including PALS-certified staff for enhanced safety.
