Have your paperwork in order
During the admission process, there are many documents the team at Silver Cross will need from you, so have these gathered and ready for the team. These will include your proof of medical insurance, social security card, state driver’s license or photo ID card, copies of physician directives for skilled nursing care, and any power of attorney documentation or court order.
Leave monetary valuables at home
Silver Cross Health & Rehab maintains patient and resident trust funds to help fund small purchases, so large amounts of cash are unnecessary. Also, leave fine jewelry or other valuables at home or with a trusted loved one.
Clothes and toiletries
Silver Cross Health & Rehab provides basic toiletries for your stay. Please bring clothes, shoes, and preferred toiletries to help you feel more like YOU. We provide complimentary laundry services during your stay.
Make your room your “home,” even if it’s just temporary
Unless you are preparing for a very long term stay at Silver Cross, you will be unable to bring large furniture or other decor items. However, you may want to bring some favorite pictures or a snuggly blanket that comforts you. Have your family create some inspiring art pieces to provide encouragement and color in your room.
