| Q: |
Can I get a private
room? |
| A: |
Kirkhaven has 21 private rooms available
for long term residents, and 4
private rooms in The Transitional Care Center. Depending on your level of need, you
may request that your application be held until a

a double room and place your name on a waiting list
and be transferred to a private room as soon as possible.

of a private room or allow families to cover the
difference in cost. |
| Q: |
How
do I apply for admission to Kirkhaven for myself
or a loved one? |
| A: |
If you are coming
from a hospital stay, your designated
social worker or discharge planner will attend
to most of the paperwork. You or a family member
should call Donna in our Admissions office and
inform the discharge planner of your preference.
If you are coming from home,
you will need a current (within three months) PRI
(Patient Instrument Review). Our admissions coordinator
or your family doctor can direct you to a medical
consultant who processes PRIs; there is a fee.
We will help you complete an application, which
we will keep on file for one full year.
If you are planning an elective surgery, you
can designate Kirkhaven as your preferred rehab
facility and complete many of the application processes
in advance.
