Admissions

It’s more than a mission. It’s a calling.

We are deeply dedicated to our patients, striving to provide compassionate, high-quality nursing and therapy services while promoting healing, providing hope and preserving dignity for all – including our families.

We understand that this is a difficult time and our Admissions Department is here to assist you with the process and help you every step of the way. We accept admissions 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

When you are considering admission, there are three different locations from which to be admitted:

• Hospital (most common)
• Transfer from another facility
• Admit from the community (such as at home) – we will guide you through the process.

Admission requirements

• Admission order, dated and signed, by a physician or nurse practitioner/physician assistant for immediate care to include medication, treatment, activities and diet orders
• History and physical, including the following, within the last 30 days:
  • Medical history (previous illnesses, drug reactions and food allergies, emotional reactions, etc.)
  • Current diagnosis
  • Chest x-ray
  • History of tuberculosis exposure and an assessment for signs and symptoms of tuberculosis, by a licensed physician or nurse practitioner/physician assistant
  • First step of a two-step Mantoux tuberculin skin test
• Pre-admission screening (PAS)

We will work closely with the case manager, social worker or physician’s office to obtain the required medical information on your behalf.
