Pre-Admission

An admission assessment will be completed prior to admission by the Director of Nursing and the Admission Director in coordination with the facility Administrator in order to find the best possible placement for the resident.

The Director of Nursing and the Admission Director will be reviewing previous and current medical diagnosis, along with current medications. The resident needs to have a current history and physical at the time of assessment. If the patient's physician will not follow at Allison Care Center, the facility will assist the resident in finding a physician.
