McLaren Caro Region

The Swing Bed Program at McLaren Caro Region offers transitional care for those patients who no longer require acute medical care but aren’t quite ready to go home. Traditionally, these patients would be transferred to a skilled nursing facility, nursing home, or rehabilitation facility—often outside of the community—to receive the appropriate level of care. For patients who transition into our Swing Bed Program who are currently receiving inpatient care at McLaren Caro Region, they are able to remain in the same hospital setting where their bed “swings” from an acute care bed—which requires more intensive care—and transitions to a bed requiring less intensive rehabilitation services and skilled nursing care. For qualified patients receiving inpatient care at outside facilities, they are still able to transition into our Swing Bed Program.

Our highly skilled multidisciplinary team provides 24-hour on-site care, individualized treatment plans, as well as physical, occupational, and speech rehabilitation services, all while staying in a familiar environment close to home. If the situation arises, our patients also have 24/7 access to on-site emergency care.
