inpatient Care

Our highly qualified and caring team of nurses and providers provide patient and family-centered care from age 10 and older. As a patient, you will receive 24-hour individualized care. Working with your physician, our caring staff will care for you with skill and compassion. 

During your stay at Meeker Memorial, you’ll have a interdisciplinary dedicated staff providing care using a team approach from nursing services, surgery, laboratory, diagnostic imaging, rehabilitation, pharmacy, and other support staff to provide 24/7 personalized care.

Before you go home, a discharge planning consultation is provided to you. Our Case Manager will ensure that different care options are recognized after your hospital stay, discussed with you, and coordinated accordingly. 

Skilled Swing Bed

When patients reach the point in their recovery that acute care is no longer necessary, but they are not yet safe to go home, they can be evaluated for this program that provides skilled follow-up care. 

Swing Bed care is a wonderful option that is particularly helpful whenever a patient needs only a few more days or weeks to reach their optimal recovery. Even if the original hospitalization occurred elsewhere, patients may still qualify for our skilled swing bed.

Services that may qualify for Skilled Swing Bed include: 

  • physical therapy
  • occupational therapy
  • speech therapy
  • wound care
  • IV antibiotic therapy
  • joint replacement rehabilitation
  • stroke rehabilitation

Who qualifies for our Skilled Swing Bed program?

Medicare and most insurance companies cover post-acute rehab services. These services are usually covered under the “Skilled Nursing Facility” benefit category. Medicare and state regulations provide the following patient eligibility guidelines:

  • A patient must be hospitalized as an “Acute Care Inpatient” (not an “Observation Patient”) for a minimum of three consecutive midnights within 30 days.
  • Admission can come from any hospital, including our hospital, after three consecutive midnights as an inpatient in acute care. 

We recommend that you contact your insurance company for specific coverage before making any health care decisions.

Stroke Rehabiliation

Stroke Statistics

  • Stroke is the leading cause of serious long-term disability affecting approx. 800,000 people per year.
  • Thanks to advances in Acute Stroke Intervention – death rates have decreased, but need for rehabilitation services has increased.
  • Two-thirds of stroke survivors require rehabilitation services after hospitalization – swing bed, long term care and outpatient.
