BCMC Healing Haven: Swing Bed & Transitional Care Services

Your Bridge to Recovery at Bradley County Medical Center

At Bradley County Medical Center (BCMC), we understand that healing doesn’t always end when a hospital stay does. That’s why we offer Swing Bed & Transitional Care Services at our newly named BCMC Healing Haven, a dedicated wing within our Medical-Surgical Unit designed to help patients regain strength, mobility, and independence before returning home.

If you or a loved one needs short-term rehabilitation, skilled nursing care, or transitional support, our team is here to provide expert medical and therapeutic care in a comfortable, supportive environment.

What Is Swing Bed & Transitional Care?

The Swing Bed Program is a Medicare-approved service that allows patients to continue receiving skilled nursing care and rehabilitation in a hospital setting after an acute stay. This program is ideal for individuals who are not quite ready to go home and need additional therapy, nursing care, or medical monitoring before transitioning back to everyday life.

BCMC Healing Haven serves patients from Warren and all of Southeast Arkansas, offering a home-like setting with access to 24/7 nursing care, therapy services, and advanced medical support.

Who Benefits from Swing Bed Services?

You may qualify for our Swing Bed & Transitional Care Program if you:
• Recently had surgery, illness, or injury and need extra time to regain strength.
• Require physical therapy, occupational therapy, or speech therapy before safely returning home.
• Need wound care, IV therapy, or skilled nursing that cannot be managed at home.
• Are recovering from stroke, joint replacement, fractures, heart failure, or other complex conditions.

Medicare & Insurance Coverage

Many patients qualify for Medicare-covered Swing Bed services if they meet these criteria:
• Medicare Part A coverage.
• A minimum three-night acute care hospital stay prior to swing bed admission.
• A skilled nursing or rehab need as defined by Medicare (such as therapy, IV medications, or wound care).

HMO and private insurance plans may also cover Swing Bed services and often do not require a three-night hospital stay. Our team can verify insurance coverage and assist with pre-authorization.
