The Swing Bed Program is designed for patients who no longer require acute hospital care but still need skilled care before returning home.

Our dedicated team is here to ensure your smooth transition home. Even if you’ve received inpatient care or surgery at another hospital, you can choose Eaton Rapids Medical Center for your sub-acute rehabilitation needs.

Stays are typically short-term and can be used for a variety of conditions including, but not limited to:

  • Stroke
  • Heart disease
  • Joint replacement & other surgeries
  • Respiratory disease
  • Newly diagnosed diabetes
  • Fall injuries

A variety of insurance plans are accepted, including Medicare, Medicare Plus Blue, Humana, and many commercial insurance products.
