Current through September 24, 2024
The policy and priority for private room assignment is as follows:
A. Contagious or infectious disease;
B. Oxygen or terminally ill resident, or a resident who would suffer a negative impact on his/her medical condition as documented by the Home physician.
C. Female admissions (where private room is available and female is #1 on the waiting list and home occupancy would preclude admittance of the female); and
D. First-come first-serve basis. Any occupant of a private room, due strictly to the choosing of the resident, will be charged an additional $100.00 per month for each month in which a private room is occupied, regardless of length of occupancy.
E. Private room occupants in categories A, B, and/or C will vacate the private room when the conditions(s) and/or situation is resolved. Private room occupants from category D will be required to vacate the private room for category A, B, and/or C residents on a last in, first out basis. The vacated resident would be placed back at the top of the first-come first-served waiting list.
