Gundersen Boscobel Services

Sometimes, extra recovery time and rehabilitation are needed following a hospital stay or surgery. This transitional care, referred to as “Swing Bed” by Medicare, can be the solution for patients who no longer require inpatient services, but still require some rehabilitation and/or nursing services before returning home – safely and independently.

Gundersen Boscobel’s Swing Bed program offers the perfect blend of independence, personalization and skilled care. Our multi-disciplinary care team is focused on helping you achieve better health in a friendly and supportive environment.
