Frequently Asked Questions
What steps are needed before admission?
The admission process is actually quite simple and our helpful and friendly staff will walk you through each step.
Your primary physician must provide:
- A signed History & Physical report no more than 30 days old.
- Current signed medication orders.
You must provide:
- A completed "Application for Residency" which can be found here.
- Copies of documentation regarding Guardianship, Power of Attorney, Living Wills, DNR, and/or other end-of-life issues if applicable..
Our staff must perform a pre-admission residency assessment.
After these steps are taken, you will meet with our staff to complete the monthly lease agreement.
