Frequently Asked Questions

Why can’t you provide me with my loved one’s personal information; facility number; or bed availability information?

Due to safety and security concerns for residents and staff we are unable to confirm a resident’s placement in our program or to provide any information regarding the resident’s program without that resident’s written consent.

When can I visit my loved one?

Any person wishing to visit a resident must first be approved by staff. This process should be completed during the resident’s orientation period and involves proper identification of the visitor. Those eligible to visit are: mother, father, or legal guardian; siblings; children; grandparents; and one (1) significant other.
