A patient placement representative will arrange for bed assignment if a bed is available or will place the patient on a waiting list.

Discharge planning begins upon admission with an assessment of the patient’s condition and living environment and a review of anticipated needs at the time of discharge.
The referral process allows for physicians, staff, patients, and families to ask for assistance. Communication and collaboration are an important aspect of the discharge plan.
