Restorative Care Unit

Swain Community Hospital, a Duke LifePoint Hospital accredited by The Joint Commission welcomes patients to our restorative care unit. Our environment supports patients transitioning from the hospital to home with one-on-one compassionate skilled care. We care for patients recovering from acute illnesses, orthopaedic procedures, and other conditions requiring transitional care.

A Quiet, Restful Environment and a Caring, Knowledgeable Staff

If you have had a three-night qualifying stay in the hospital then you may be eligible for a stay of up to 20 days paid by Medicare or Medicaid. We also provide these services to private insurance and private pay stays.
