For patients on a commercial insurance plan—it is advised that patients not leave the center. For further questions, please see the Social Services Director for details. If you are leaving the center for a few hours on any other insurance, please be sure to give ample notice to your nurse so they can prepare your medications, etc. Also, please be sure to sign the notebook at the nurse’s station when you leave and return, as well as, verbally check in and out with your nurse. All patients must be back in the facility by midnight so their financial coverage will not be affected.

Discharge Planning

When the physicians, therapists and nurses determine that you are approaching your discharge goals, a representative will see you to coordinate home services, equipment, transportation, etc. A minimum of 48 hours is preferred in order to facilitate a smooth and safe discharge. Discharges are highly recommended Monday through Thursday from 9:00 am to 11:00 am.

Physician Visits

A member of our physician services team will coordinate your case; along with the nursing and therapy staff while you are here. Our physicians round regularly, but are available 24 hours-a-day, 7 days a week.

Doctor Appointments

If follow up physician appointments are scheduled during your stay with us, the center staff will help you coordinate transportation to ensure patients make it to their appointments on time. Please contact your insurance company and/or our Business Office with any questions about potential transportation costs. If a family member prefers to take the patient to the appointment and therapy and nursing feel the patient is safe to transport in a personal car, this would avoid any transportation costs.
