What is the move-in process?

Prospective resident and/or family visits and tours facility. If tentatively interested, prospective resident is assessed for appropriate level of care. Prospective resident then selects his/her apartment. Rental rate is determined and agreed upon. Move-in packet is presented to the family or responsible party, including the admission agreement and the physician's report. Before resident is admitted, all documents must be completed and delivered to Administrator. Any medications are brought to the Health Services Director prior to moving in. Move-in date is established. Family member(s) or responsible party meets with Administrator to go over and sign administrative documents. Resident must turn in their ID/Insurance/SS card prior to move-in. Resident Care Assessment and Planning. An initial level of care is established prior to the resident moving in. The Care staff carefully monitors the resident during the year to determine if his/her care level has changed. The family or responsible party will be kept informed of any observed changes on an ongoing basis. If the resident is assessed at a higher or lower level, their rental rate will be adjusted accordingly after a discussion with the family and resident. After a year from the resident's admission date, a Care Plan Conference will be organized. The purpose of this conference is to go over the resident's care, involving Dining Service and Activities staff to prepare a comprehensive Care Plan for each resident.
