INFORMATION ABOUT OUR FACILITIES

Decatur County Hospital and Cedar Living Center is a 24-bed hospital and a 36-bed extended care unit. Cottonwood Home Care provides health care in private homes. On April 1, 2004 Wheat Ridge Terrace joined with us to provide apartments for Senior Citizens.

And More

As part of Total Care, we offer the following services:

• Inpatient - A person admitted to the hospital for a specific reason or diagnosis.
• Outpatient - A person admitted to the hospital for observation, generally not to exceed 24 hours, to evaluate the outpatient's condition or to determine the need or possibility of an inpatient admittance.
• Medicare Swing Bed - A patient requires continued skilled services past the days allotted by the insurance company. Swing Bed must follow a three-day acute care stay. The patient must meet certain criteria for these transitions. With the exception of weekly, rather than daily doctor visits, the patient care remains the same. Please contact your nurse for more information.
