The assessment determines the hospital’s appropriate program that fits the need of care for the patient you are referring.

Once the assessment is completed, you will be informed if your patient’s condition meets the clinical guidelines of admission to one of our programs. The assessor and admissions team will coordinate an admission time/date with the patient as the next step.
If transportation assistance is needed, they can help coordinate options for you as well.
