Memorial's Swing Bed Program

Memorial Hospital’s Swing Bed Program provides a wide range of interdisciplinary rehabilitation services to patients with short term rehabilitation and medical needs.

Patients may be referred by physicians, acute care hospitals or other health care professional, for admission to swing bed status.

Our swing bed team will meet with the patient to evaluate their condition and level of function. The team will assess the patient’s needs, plan treatment and establish an estimated time frame to meet the team’s goals. Family members are an integral part of the treatment team. They are involved in decision making, made aware of daily progress and are also invited to participate in our tri-weekly interdisciplinary patient care meetings.

“I was in the Hospital for over two weeks and the staff at Chester Hospital was so amazing and so nice. You never had to wait for anyone to come in your room to help you and they explained everything they were doing. The therapy here is the best. The food here, for being a hospital, is the best I have had. I would just like to say a big THANK YOU to all the staff here, you do an amazing job. "
