Prior to Admission
Once you have chosen Carondelet Manor for you
or your family member, contact the admissions
coordinator so arrangements can be made. You will
need to have a physician, licensed in the State
of Missouri that will provide orders for medications,
treatments, diet and activity who is able to make
required visits to Carondelet Manor. Your medical history and physical
is necessary from the physician within five days
prior to admission or within two days following
admission. If you do not have a physician, the
admissions coordinator will assist you in obtaining
a physician who accepts residents in the facility.
If you are coming from a hospital or another nursing facility,
our staff will obtain this information from that facility.
Please contact the admission coordinator to schedule a time to
complete all necessary admission paperwork and review any special
needs. Ask about facility guidelines regarding bringing furniture,
pictures or electrical appliances from home.

What to Bring
You are encouraged to bring personal belongings
and furnishings that will help you feel "close
to home." Due to space and safety restrictions,
items must be limited to personal clothing, furniture,
books, photographs, electric shavers, televisions,
radios, telephones, wall decorations and toiletries.
Questions about what to bring may be discussed
with the admission coordinator or social worker.
Our social workers are available to help ease
the transition for both you and your loved one
and serve as an ongoing source of support as normal
living situations occur.

Medications
Pharmacy fees are not included in the daily room
rate. You are free to select any pharmacy that
will bubble pack and deliver a 31-day supply of
medicationm, delivered to our facility, to be in compliance with our system.
Pharmacy bills are mailed monthly and are the
responsibility of the resident or responsible
party. Medications of any kind cannot be kept
in your room, including over the counter medication unless there is a physicians order
and the approval of the care plan team. This is
for your safety as well as the safety and welfare
of other residents.

Transportation
When a resident is admitted to our facility from a hospital or other health institution, the transportation is handled by the transferring facility.
If a resident is admitted from home, the transportation
to Carondelet Manor is handled by the family or responsible party.
Once a resident is admitted to Carondelet Manor
and requires transportation to a doctor's appointment
or out-patient tests at a hospital/clinic, our
social service workers will discuss transportation
options and the cost for transportation with the
resident and responsible party. There is a service
charge that Medicare/managed care does not cover.
This becomes the responsibility of the resident.
|
|
Payment/Refunds
An advance payment is required at the time of
admission for private pay services. The payment
due would be the daily room rate times the remaining
days of the current month. The social worker will
assist with the Medicare/Medicaid and managed
care arrangements.
An advance payment is required at the time of transition, which
occurs when a resident stays beyond the days covered by Medicare/managed
care and then becomes a private pay resident.
When a resident leaves Carondelet Manor, any remaining balance
will be refunded after the final charges have been cleared through
the Business Office.
