Bridge to Home Services

Bridge to Home Swing Bed Program

 

The Bridge to Home swing bed program at Pana Community Hospital is designed for patients who have been discharged from a hospital but still require additional recovery time before returning home. This specialized program provides the necessary rehabilitation and skilled nursing to ensure a complete and safe recovery. Often, patients need to transition from hospital care to a specialized rehabilitation facility to regain their physical strength and functionality. For additional information on Pana Community Hospital's Bridge to Home Swing Bed program call Mamie Campbell-Swing Bed Coordinator at 217-562-6352.

 

Why Choose Our Bridge to Home Swing Bed Program?

Bridge to Home swing bed is available to any qualifying patient who wishes to recover in the comfort of Pana, close to family and friends. We offer the warmth and privacy of a comfortable room, ensuring a restful environment for recovery. We will make every effort to accommodate a private room; however, availability cannot be guaranteed. As a federally-approved swing bed program, Bridge to Home allows small hospitals like Pana Community Hospital to utilize regular patient rooms for specialized care, providing a seamless transition from hospital to home.
