Q: What do I need to bring with me? 
A:

• Comfortable, loose fitting clothing suitable for exercising
• Underwear, socks, pajamas, bathrobe and toiletries
• Walking shoes and non-skid slippers
• Medicare, Medicaid or other insurance cards and social security card
• A copy of your Health Care Directive/Living Will

Q: Where will I eat my meals?
A: It is strongly encouraged that you eat in the dining room, as it is part of your therapy.

Q: How do I get my medications?
A: The facility receives orders for your medications from the doctor. The nurses will give them to you. The medication is provided as part of your stay so you do not need to bring any medicine from home.

Q: Can my family visit?
A: Yes, family members are very welcome. Visits need to be scheduled around your rehabilitation schedule.

Q: How do I get to medical appointments from the facility?
A: You can either be driven by a family member or friend or use a medical transportation company. If you use a medical transportation company you may have to pay for it yourself because medical insurance does not always cover the cost.

Q: How long will my insurance cover my stay at the facility?
A: The hospital social worker or someone at the facility where you are going will contact your health care insurance company. How much is covered depends on the benefits of your health insurance policy, your medical needs and the progress you make at the facility.
