Dardanelle Regional is proud to offer Swing Bed services to patients who may need rehabilitation prior to returning home. Swing Bed is a Medicare program that allows hospital facilities to be used for in-patient acute care and then be transitioned to provide healthcare services that cannot be easily provided at home.

Patients who do not need to be hospitalized, but may benefit from rehabilitation with 24/7 nursing coverage can receive high-quality, compassionate care at Dardanelle Regional without having to visit another healthcare facility. During a patient’s stay, they will receive care from our nurses, case managers, activities director, and therapists. Our physicians will make rounds Monday thru Friday checking in on all your medical concerns and labs to ensure that you are receiving the best healthcare available with the goal of returning to your previous living arrangements.

If you have been in the hospital for a medical reason that requires you to stay 3 midnights and your physician feels that your are not ready to return to your previous way of living right away- you may be eligible to qualify for our swing bed program. Here you will receive daily care by our nursing staff,  Physical, Occupational , Respiratory Therapy.

Length of Stay
