Physicians, registered nurses, community agencies and family can make a referral.

Do I need an order from my doctor?

Will my doctor be involved after the referral?
Your physician will be kept advised of your progress toward the goals you will develop and achieve.

HOSPITAL CASE MANAGEMENT
Will my case manager come see me while I am hospitalized?
Yes. Members of the case management team will meet with each individual to discuss the plan of care and help determine your needs prior to discharge. The team will then work to meet your individual needs prior to discharge.
