PATIENT/FAMILY ADMISSIONS GUIDE

Evaluation and Treatment

Each of our patients has an individualized treatment plan. Our team will evaluate on the first visit and develop a plan that focuses on your needs and concerns.

Medication

All medication will be administered by a nurse. This includes prescription and over-the-counter drugs. Medications should not be brought in from home unless advised by your nurse or physician to do so, and should be given to the nurse in charge for storage.

Clothing

Plan to wear loose comfortable clothing that is easy to remove for care and will not interfere with therapy. Label clothes with patient name. Shoes should be supportive and non-skid.

Personal Laundry

Laundry can be done by a family member or for a small fee at the facility.

Personal Items/Inventory

To make your loved one feel more comfortable, we encourage you to bring personal items from home such as photos, blankets or music. All items will be logged on an Inventory list upon arrival. Please ensure that any personal items brought in later are added to the Inventory detail.

Pets are allowed in designated areas with the permission of the Administrator and only if certain criteria have been met. Contact the Administrator for more information.
