Short-Stay Skilled Nursing, Rehabilitation and

Planned hospitalization: If you think you may need post hospital care before returning home, contact our Admissions office when you schedule your hospitalization. We will work with you and your family to help ensure there will be a room for you upon discharge from the hospital.

Unscheduled hospitalization: As soon as possible following admission to the hospital, ask the hospital social worker/discharge planner to call River Garden’s Admissions office. A Registered Nurse from our Admissions office will visit you at the hospital to assess your needs and answer questions.

Short-Stay Respite: Is appropriate when the home care giver will be away or needs some relief. Call our Admissions office for an appointment and tour.

When applicable, Medicare parts A & B will be billed. We also participate in a number of managed care plans.
