We Are Ready to Serve

When sending a referral for consideration, facilities should submit patient demographics with insurance info, updated labs, medication list, nursing notes/progress notes as available. Patients need to be medically cleared by their Physician for inpatient Psych hospitalizations and proof of examination also submitted with the referral to ensure patient health and safety.    

 

Due to the clinical acuity of their Psychiatric diagnoses and its treatment, we cannot consider patients receiving dialysis, pregnant patients, patients actively undergoing chemotherapy, and patients in active withdrawal from substances. We can assist patients with drug/alcohol dependencies if their primary diagnosis is a psychiatric diagnosis and they are not actively withdrawing.

Medical complexities such as oxygen needs (6L max), wounds (stage 3/4 ), seizure disorders, and most chronic health conditions are considered with administrative team approval.
