Skilled Nursing (Swing Bed) Services

Transition from the hospital to home

The Skilled Nursing (Swing Bed) program is a hospital-based skilled care program designed to help if you are no longer in need of acute care but still need more rehabilitation before you return home. Even if you have received care or surgery at another hospital, you can choose the Skilled Nursing (Swing Bed) program at Highpoint Health – Riverview or Highpoint Health – Trousdale for your swing-bed care. It is short-term designed to help patients reach a higher level of wellness or a higher level of independent functioning. We offer private rooms with flat screen TVs for you and your family’s comfort.
