What to Expect the First Day

Admission
After arriving at Baylor Institute for 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 is complete, your nurse will visit you and do a medical assessment.

On the day of admission, please bring a family member with you. This is important if you are not able to complete the admission form, 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. on weekdays and on weekends.

Please bring your insurance card, prescription drug card, Medicare card, driver's license and social security card at the time of admission. Although financial information will have been verified at the time of admission, we will use this information to arrange for insurance assignment to the hospital, permitting us to directly bill your insurance company.
