Admission Process:

We strive to make the admission process as smooth and stress-free as possible. Our goal is to be fully prepared to care for your loved one from day one. The more information you can provide, the better we can plan and personalize care together.

Our dedicated staff—bringing more than 30 years of experience—will carefully assess each resident’s safety and service needs. Once an application is submitted, we will guide you through the next steps.

1. Explore our community. Find a room that fits your needs and preferences. We offer a variety of options, from private studios to deluxe two-bedroom suites.  To schedule a tour, please refer to the contact information in the Tours section below.
2. Check availability.  If a room you like is available, we can hold it for up to 30 days with a completed application and community fee.  If your preferred room is not currently available, you may still submit an application to be placed on our call-back list. We will contact you as soon as a suitable room becomes available or is expected to open soon.
3. Complete Admission forms.  At this stage, we will collect medical information and required permissions for the prospective resident.  An admission checklist and all necessary forms are available at the bottom of this page. We recommend speaking with our Admissions Department for guidance on completing the checklist in the correct order.  If the prospective resident is currently in another care setting (such as a skilled nursing facility or assisted living community), our Admissions team can assist in obtaining certain required documents.

   Please note:

   • The Health Care Practitioner Physical Assessment (HCPPA) form must be completed prior to admission and is valid for 30 days from the date of completion.
   • The form may be completed by a nurse but must be signed by a physician or nurse practitioner, as it includes a medication list.
   • In some cases, information on the HCPPA form may indicate care needs that we are unable to accommodate.
4. Schedule a Move-In Date. A move-in date may be selected at the time of application. If not, we will coordinate a date based on when admission requirements are completed or at your convenience.
5. Prep for Moving-Day.  To help make the transition as smooth as possible, we also encourage families to consider the following:
   • Bring meaningful personal items such as photos, favorite blankets, or décor to make the space feel like home
     Label personal belongings (clothing, electronics, etc.) to help prevent items from being misplaced
   • Provide comfortable, easy-to-manage clothing and appropriate footwear. Include seasonal items (sweaters, coats, etc.)  Bring personal care items such as toiletries, glasses, hearing aids, and mobility devices
   • Ensure all medications and prescriptions are up to date and properly documented.  Provide any necessary medical equipment (walkers, wheelchairs, oxygen, etc.)
6. Transportation Arrangements.  College Manor is happy to provide transportation on your admission day.  The admissions department can coordinate the transport with social workers at the prospects current facility or directly with the responsible party.  New admission transports can be provided within a 20-mile radius of our community.
7. Admission Day.  Admissions are scheduled Monday – Friday, 10:00 a.m. – 2:00 p.m.  We want to take time getting to know our new residents and time is needed for a smooth transition.  Once a resident arrives, they can go checkout their room right away, take time going through the building or our nurse can complete the initial assessment.
