Session description: The Admission Process, one of the most important interactions for skilled nursing facilities (SNF), sets the tone for the future relationship. However, in the last 20 years, the Admission Process for most SNFs has changed very little, despite the major technological, cultural and legal developments. This presentation will address the top Admissions Process elements and expectations of consumers (both residents and representatives). Suggestions for remaining competitive and relevant will be explored. Recent changes in the law that require revisions to admission material will be summarized.
