Healing You Home offers:

  • Private rooms that are tastefully decorated and welcoming
  • A relaxing, manicured courtyard for you and your family to enjoy
  • Low patient-to-staff ratios to ensure attentive, individualized care
  • A dedicated inpatient therapy gym designed to support your recovery

Continued Monitored Service

Healing You Home, the swing bed program at Hillsboro Health, offers a quality alternative to nursing home placement for patients with Medicare or Medicare Advantage/Replacement coverage who need continued skilled care after a short-term hospital stay due to illness or surgery.

Swing Bed programs, serve as a vital bridge between hospitalization and returning home for patients who require continued skilled care or rehabilitation. These programs offer a flexible solution for individuals who no longer need acute care but are not yet ready for independent living. 

Swing Bed services encompass a spectrum of rehabilitative and medical care, tailored to the patient's specific needs, whether recovering from surgery, illness or injury. Within this program, patients benefit from comprehensive support, including physical therapy, occupational therapy and skilled nursing care, aimed at restoring independence and functional abilities.

Ultimately, Swing Bed programs play a crucial role in facilitating a smoother transition from hospital to home, ensuring patients receive the necessary care and support to optimize their recovery and overall well-being.

Services available through transitional / swing bed programs include:

  • Skilled nursing care
  • Physical, occupational and speech therapy
  • Nutritional counseling
  • Social services and activities
  • Supportive services such as lab, imaging or respiratory therapy
  • Discharge planning
