Admission into the nursing home is easily started by calling and speaking with the Social Worker, Warden Weaver, or the Executive Director, Mary Carroll. You are encouraged to tour the facility and to sit down with our staff to discuss your situation.

Medical records will be reviewed for potential needs and to determine appropriateness for admission.

Prior to, or at the time of admission, copies of any advance directives and insurance information will be required.

For admissions into skilled nursing following a qualifying hospital stay, the hospital discharge planner/case manager can handle the referral and send the information needed to Golden Age Home.

During the initial process, various funding options can be reviewed to help you decide what is best for you or your loved one.

Hospice
We accept residents on hospice and will work with the Hospice care provider to ensure needs are met.
 
Respite Care
For caretakers who need to be away for a while or who just need a break, we will accept residents for respite care (short-term stay). Generally this would be for five or more days, but other arrangements could be made.  Respite stays must be arranged in advance.

Sentimental Journey
A secured wing for residents with Dementia or Alzheimer’s Disease. Families can have peace of mind that their loved ones are cared for in a safe, secured environment. 

Medicaid funding may be available for people who cannot afford private rates.  Assistance in understanding each of these programs can be obtained by calling the business office at (512) 398-2362. The Social Worker is also available to help you explore your options.
