Focused on Providing High Quality Care
We focus on providing the highest quality of care so that you can achieve the highest level of independence.
Monroe County Hospital has an extended hospital stay program that will minimize the stress and anxiety of rehabilitation and going home following a long hospital stay, trauma, or surgery. We understand that this has a major impact on your life and your family's lives and have created a comfortable, caring, private and therapeutic environment in order to optimize your recovery.
Medicare Reimbursements
The Swing Bed Extended Hospital Stay Program is paid for by Medicare and most Medicare Advantage plans as long as the Medicare clinical necessity guidelines for skilled nursing care are met. Most Medicare supplements will pay any co-pays or deductibles if there are any. We will assist you in determining your financial responsibility.
Therapies
Rehabilitative therapies include physical, occupational, and speech therapies. Our team of professionals will develop an individualized plan of care based on your specific needs and goals. Therapy sessions are conducted in short frequent sessions throughout the day in order for you to rest and rejuvenate between sessions. You will need comfortable clothing and shoes that fit well and have good traction.
