Visiting nurse services may be prescribed by our providers so care can be provided in the comfort of your home. Depending on your needs, service can be provided at the RN, LPN, or homemaker level. Visiting nurse is limited to a 30-mile radius of Philip. For more information, please speak to your medical provider.
Swing Beds
Patients needing acute or long-term care may utilize our swing-bed program. Several of our 18 hospital beds are available as swing beds for those in transition to another facility or in recovery prior to returning home. Your physician will work with you and your family members to coordinate a swing bed stay.
