Admissions Information

If your doctor suggests that you or a loved one needs nursing home care, or if a crisis occurs, nursing home admission is reasonably simple.

1.  If you are at home, you need to see your doctor for a "Nursing Home Physical". When  you admit to the nursing home, this medical information can be no more than (5) days old.

2.  If you are in the hospital, you need to inform the hospital social worker or discharge planner which nursing home you choose.

3.  You may also contact the social workers at Edgewater Haven for information regarding admission and bed availability.

4.  Nursing home admission requires the signing of many forms. Plan at least one hour for the admission process, once you arrive at the nursing home.

5.  Upon admission, have your insurance card, Medicare card, and Social Security card available, as well as any Power of Attorney documents that you might have.
