Admission Day

Jackson-Feild Homes’ main facility is a “campus” environment located in a rural area. A new resident enters the facility via the Admissions Office where she will meet with the Admissions Coordinator and her assigned case manager. Once she has been cleared physically by nursing, she will be escorted to her assigned cottage where she will receive an orientation to the program, be introduced to staff and residents, and complete all her admitting tasks, such as a personal inventory of items.
