F.A.Q's

3. Does admission into a nursing home require a physician's order?

Admission to a nursing home does not always require a physician’s order, but the order is a condition of payment for Medicare or Medicaid. Families usually work with their doctor to decide the right time to admit a loved one to a nursing home. Several factors -- including age, diagnosis, medical history and abilities of the primary caregiver -- play a part in that decision. Other times, the patient is admitted to a nursing home following a hospital stay. Ultimately, though, the decision to enter a nursing home lies with the patient and the family.

4. How are the medical needs of my loved one met?

Nursing homes have a Medical Director who works closely with the interdisciplinary team and your loved one to meet their medical needs. Care Plan meetings are also held to determine their needs. Your loved one and/or loved one’s family members are encouraged to attend and participate.
