Cedar County Memorial Hospital Swing Bed program

Home, it is the place where we all want to be. Sometimes, we are not able to return home after an acute hospital stay and we need a little help getting back there. That's where Cedar County Memorial Hospital's Swing Bed program comes in. At CCMH our swing bed program allows you to be close to friends, family, and neighbors all while receiving the care you need before returning to the place where our heart is, home.

What is a swing bed program?

A swing bed program is a service that some rural hospitals and Critical Access Hospitals offer that allows a patient to transition from an acute hospital stay to skilled nursing care without leaving the hospital environment. This allows a patient to keep receiving services in the hospital even though acute care is no longer required.
