The Admissions Process

We understand that choosing a care home for yourself or a loved one can feel overwhelming, and navigating the process may be unfamiliar. At Laurel Ridge Senior Living, we are committed to making each step clear, supportive, and stress-free. Below is an overview of our admissions process, from your initial tour to move-in day, so you know exactly what to expect.


1. Schedule a Tour

The first step is to schedule a private tour of Laurel Ridge. During the tour, you will have the opportunity to view the home, meet the caregiver, and learn more about our care philosophy and daily routines. We will discuss care needs, answer questions, review pricing, and determine if Laurel Ridge is the right fit. A room may be reserved with a deposit if you choose to move forward.


2. Care Conference and Admission Paperwork

Once you decide to move forward, we will schedule a care conference to review the resident’s care needs in detail. During this time, we complete the required admission paperwork, review the service agreement, develop a preliminary care plan, and schedule a move-in date. This ensures we are fully prepared to provide safe, personalized care from day one.


Prior to move-in, we coordinate all necessary medical and care requirements. This includes transferring medications, obtaining physician orders, reviewing assistive devices, and preparing the resident’s room. We work closely with families and healthcare providers to ensure a smooth and safe transition.

On move-in day, we welcome the resident into their new home and help them settle in comfortably. Our team provides individualized attention to ensure a smooth adjustment and works closely with the resident and family to support their comfort, preferences, and daily routine.
