Through our long-term care swing bed program, Morrow County Health District is pleased to offer 24-hour nursing care to chronically ill and frail residents.  We meet the unique needs of residents, address family concerns, and help residents with their day-to day care.  We respect the dignity of each individual to provide a safe, comfortable living environment.  There is no limit to how long a qualifying individual may stay in our Long Term Care unit.

Located in the hospital, the recently remodeled Long Term Care area provides a high level of medical care.  A physician supervises each patient’s care and skilled nursing care is available at all times.  Our team of experienced professionals includes:
