Llano Regional Hospital announces ‘Swing Bed Program’

Llano Regional Hospital is raising awareness about an important service available to patients recovering from surgery, illness, or hospitalization: its swing bed program, designed to provide continued care and rehabilitation right here in the Llano region.

The program allows eligible patients to receive skilled nursing care, therapy, and medical support in a hospital setting after their initial acute stay—without having to transfer to an out-of-town facility.

Certified by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), swing bed programs like Llano’s are essential for rural communities where access to post-acute care options can be limited.
