At Jenkins County Medical Center, we offer swing bed services to patients who need post-acute care but may also need additional medical services during their hospital stay. With our wide range of medical services and therapies, we are able to provide all levels of care necessary for our patients.
Our swing bed hospital program is available for all Medicare patients. Although a majority of our patients are from surrounding counties such as Bulloch, Emanuel, Screven, Jenkins, and Burke, our door is always open for those in need of our swing bed services.
Our goal is to provide our patients with a program that allows for inpatient post-acute care services that can be transitioned to a higher level of care if needed. This allows our patients to receive all levels of care in one location. Swing bed patients remain at the Jenkins County Medical Center facility throughout their entire hospital stay, no matter what type of care they are receiving.
There are many benefits of staying at a hospital with a swing bed program. Our swing bed program allows us to provide different types of therapy, rehabilitation, and skilled nursing care services all in one location. Being able to stay at one facility and receive all forms of care is ideal for our patients.
The recovery process usually comes with many different appointments. Another benefit of our swing bed program is being in the hospital when and where your appointments are scheduled. This allows our patients to attend all of their follow-up appointments.
The benefits of our swing bed hospital program allow our patients’ extended care to be monitored and adjusted as needed.

Although the swing bed program is very helpful, it is not recommended as a long-term care solution. A majority of our patients stay in our facility for 1 to 2 weeks. This time frame allows us to provide the care and services our patients need to begin the rehabilitation process. It allows for a short-term recovery period with the assistance of our skilled staff.
Our physicians and staff members make your long-term health our priority. We ensure that our patients receive the services and care they need to return home to their loved ones. Our team creates a detailed approach, focused clinical services, daily evaluations, and discharge plans.
The therapy services our patients receive are designed to help them regain their strength and independence. Jenkins County Medical Center wants to give our patients the proper tools they need to recover from illness or injury.
