What are the steps for admission to long or short-term care?
Prior to an applicant’s consideration for admission, New York State assessment forms (PRI and SCREEN) must be completed by a registered nurse. These forms are reviewed by our interdisciplinary admissions team to determine eligibility for care. Our finance staff then helps determine the applicant’s payment source(s). Upon availability of an appropriate bed, the eligible patient is admitted.
How should I begin the admission process for my loved one?
If your loved one is currently in…
- A hospital – The hospital discharge planner can fax a PRI and SCREEN to us for evaluation.
- The community – A PRI and SCREEN may be completed by a home care agency/visiting nurse and should be faxed to our Admission’s Office.
- Another Nursing Home – You may request that the social worker fax forms to our Admissions Office.
All information can be faxed to our Admissions Department at 718-379-4018.
