How Can Someone Be Admitted to Colonial Park Care Center?
Many of our residents come to our facility directly after a hospital stay. If the attending physician determines that a resident is ready for release, but needs further care before returning home, he or she will inform the social worker at the hospital. The social worker will then present the resident and his or her family with a list of appropriate licensed facilities in the area. If the resident chooses Colonial Park Care Center, a resident evaluation takes place at the hospital to determine whether skilled nursing is the appropriate level of care
