It allows you to remain in the same bed, same room, receiving the same level of nursing care, but services are billed differently.After inpatient surgery or another hospitalization, some patients no longer need acute care but are not quite ready to return to home or a nursing facility. Others may have been hospitalized far from home and still need care, but may receive it in their local hospital. Cox Barton County Hospital’s swing bed program is a caring solution for these situations.
