The Admission Process

Step 1. You are currently in the hospital and will require physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy and/or nursing care upon discharge in a Medicare/Rehabilitation Unit. It has been determined that your current needs cannot be met in a home or nursing home setting. Note: we have compiled a list of commonly asked questions about Medicare

Step 2. The social worker/discharge planner will contact the admissions coordinator at the Foss Home to determine current bed availability and your level of care needs.

Step 3. Your social worker/discharge planner will fax information about you obtained from your hospital medical chart for the Transitional Care Unit team to review.

Step 4. If there is bed availability and you meet the required level of care, your social worker and the Foss Home admissions coordinator will coordinate your date and time of admission.

Step 5. You have the right to choose your own physician. However, a physician needs to be assigned prior to entry to the Foss Home. Your social worker or the admissions coordinator can discuss your options for a physician with you prior to entry.
