ADMISSIONS

Nassau Rehabilitation and Nursing Center is a state-licensed, Medicare-certified skilled nursing facility that offers a variety of services, including physical, occupational, and speech therapy, wound care, and medical/nursing.

The clinical needs of an individual are evaluated by a multi-disciplinary Admission team to assure that each patient/resident receives the specific care identified by his/her physician.

The process consists of:

• Whenever possible, a tour of the facility and an interview with a member of the Admissions Department.
• Completed Admission Application.
• Completed PRI (Patient Review Instrument) by a certified registered nurse.
• The Admission Application and PRI are then submitted for medical and financial review.
• Once a decision has been made, the patient/family is notified.
• If NRNC is able to provide the care needed for the patient/resident, arrangements will be made to transfer the patient/resident as soon as an appropriate bed is available.
• A representative of the patient/resident must be available to complete the necessary admission paperwork on the day of admission
• A tour of the facility is strongly recommended to be followed by an interview with the admissions and nursing departments.
