Admissions Process
The first step in the process of admitting to Silsbee Oaks Health Care, L.L.P. is to have a resident assessment completed. When this assessment is completed, appropriate staff and the resident and/or responsible party can sit down and discuss admission to Silsbee Oaks Health Care, L.L.P. The average wait for admission varies; therefore it is helpful to plan ahead.
Once a room is offered and has been accepted you will need to complete the following. Our Admission Coordinator will assist you in this process:
