Discharge to Home
When
we anticipate a resident's discharge, we start making plans soon after admittance. The
care team of professionals starts the rehabilitation process with discharge in mind.
Anticipating your needs and finding out your plans helps us equip you with the best
care possible.
Steps to Discharge
Discharge often depends on the therapist's
evaluation of progress and knowledge that the resident has reached his/her maximum
potential with skilled care.
We notify the resident and family about discharge.
We contact the resident's physician for the
discharge orders, which will include follow-up services at home if needed.
Based on the doctor's order, our rehabilitation coordinator arranges for follow-up home health services and/or special equipment.
Medications, We will ask if you have
medications at home and if not, what pharmacy you will use. We will notify your
physician of the pharmacy information. Your physician will place the medication order for
you.
On the day of discharge please choose a time
before 1:00 p.m. that is convenient for all parties. Following Medicare guidelines we must
charge you for another day when check out occurs after 1:00 p.m.
