Swing - Private Pay
Jones Regional Medical Center's Swing - Private Pay service provides comprehensive care for those who are ill or injured or those who can no longer take care of their personal needs or need assistance with their personal needs.
Patients in an Acute Nursing Unit are checked frequently by a nurse. When their health improves and they are admitted to Swing - Private Pay Care, patients are checked as needed.
Teamwork
