Swing Bed provides an extended care option for individuals who are recovering from an injury or illness and are not yet able to care for themselves at home. Glacial Ridge Health System is committed to helping patients focus on healing and getting stronger, so they can regain their independence and return home.

Why Swing Bed?

Our services provide care to patients who have situations such as:

• Recovering from a stroke or an accident
• Repeated hospitalizations
• Wounds which are not healing or need special care

Other individuals may need assistance with:

Even if you were transferred and treated or had surgery at another facility, you can request to return to Glacial Ridge Hospital for your continued recovery.
