A resident cannot be admitted from home without all necessary medical forms. To assure a current History and Physical, an appointment with the patient’s attending physician may be required. A resident will be assigned to a physician prior to admission. If a resident’s attending/family physician wishes to be responsible for following the resident, arrangements should be made prior to admission. State law requires that the resident’s attending physician see the resident every 30 days for the first 90 days and a minimum of every 30 to 60 days thereafter.

For any questions or concerns please feel free to call the Admissions Office at (231) 672-7181.
