What to Expect on Your First Day

Admission
After arriving at Baylor Institute of Rehabilitation, you and your family will be greeted in your room by the Patient Admissions Coordinator. The Coordinator will provide bedside admission and orient you and your family members to your room and the hospital. After this process is complete, your nurse will visit with you and do a medical assessment.

On the day of admission, we ask that patients be accompanied by a family member. This is especially important if the patient is not able to complete the admission forms, verify information or sign the "Consent to Treat" form. If no family member is available at the time of admission, a family member must complete the admission documents within 24 hours. This can be done by checking in with the Admissions Desk on the first floor of the hospital, between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m., or with the Nursing Supervisor, after 5 p.m. weekdays and on weekends.

We also ask that patients bring their insurance card, prescription drug card, Medicare card, driver's license and social security card at the time of admission. Although financial information has been verified prior to admission, we will use this information to arrange for insurance assignment to the hospital, permitting direct billing to your insurance company.
