SKILLED NURSING & SWING BED

Lindsborg Community Hospital is committed to recovery and care designed for patients no longer requiring acute care hospitalization, but still in need of additional skilled care before going home. LCH provides the transitional care for patients who need assistance in gaining maximum independence following an illness or injury.

We incorporate skilled nursing with therapy to help our patients meet their fullest potential prior to leaving our facility. Swing bed patients receive specialized care and recuperate in a caring, personalized environment.

Physical Therapy
