Swing Bed Program
At
CMH we focus on what we do best, and rehabilitation is one of those things. The Swing Bed Program allows
for skilled, short-term rehabilitative services where patients convalesce
in a comfortable, friendly, caring atmosphere close to home and loved
ones.
Our caring, professional staff of physicians, nurses, therapists, radiology and lab technologists are focused on placing the
needs and comfort of our patients in the forefront.
Our interdisciplinary care team meets weekly to address each patient's
needs, while creating realistic goals that are met through the use of
therapeutic exercise, modalities, manual therapy techniques, and patient
and family education. Whether recovering from a stroke or adapting to
physical limitation following an injury, our team is dedicated to working
with each patient to achieve his/her highest level of independence. e-mail us
