Admissions

Pre-Admission

A facility representative will complete an assessment before admission to assure that appropriate care can be provided. The admission team reviews previous and current medical diagnoses, current medications and functional status. The current primary care physician completes a history and physical at the time of admission. We assist you in determining if your physician can continue to follow you at the facility. If necessary, we will assist you in choosing one of our house physicians.
