Rehabilitation Services

Fulton County Hospital is committed to recovery and care designed for patients no longer requiring acute care hospitalization, but still in need of additional therapy before going home. Fulton County Hospital has incorporated skilled nursing with rehabilitation to help our patients meet their maximum potential prior to leaving our facility. Swing bed patients receive specialized care and recuperate in a caring, personalized environment. Each patient is an individual with a special life and unique needs. Our nurses and therapists help patients focus on their recovery goals to get them home faster and stronger. The length of stay is determined by the patient's needs as recommended by their physician.
