Thank you for your interest in Belknap County Nursing Home. We take pride in offering the residents of Belknap County, quality skilled and long term health care. BCNH is a modern facility fully equipped to meet the needs of all residents, from care and comfort to rehabilitation and recreation. Annette Griffis Director of Social Services, will assist you with the admission process when you feel the time is right. If you have not visited BCNH recently please call for an appointment. We know you will find the staff to be caring, compassionate and professional, and the environment to be bright, active and friendly.
Pre-Admission Process
We have streamlined our pre-admission/admission process to make the transition as worry free as possible. The pre-admission packet contains a Resident Data Sheet and a checklist of needed documentation. We have also included information about our services and what is included and not included in your Medicaid/Medicare or Private Pay status. When we have received the requested documentation, BCNH’s admission team reviews the information and will set up an informal interview to be sure we can meet your needs both medically and socially. Once we have determined that all needs can be met, we will assign a room, set up an admission date and begin the admission process.
Admission Process
On the day of admission, certain forms explaining our policies and procedures, resident rights, privacy practices, Medicaid Income and Asset Rules for Nursing Home Residents, and financial considerations, will need to be reviewed and signed. The nursing staff will then perform their evaluations and admission assessments. Families are invited to join us for lunch on the day of admission and help personalize the new room.
We have a full complement of staff including nurses, licensed nurses assistants, social services, housekeeping, maintenance, rehabilitative professionals, laundry, dietary staff, registered dietician, beautician and a large activity department. We are here to meet your needs. Please feel free to ask questions of any employee or resident. We will be more than happy to assist you.
Very truly yours,
Courtney Marshall, NHA, MBA
Administrator
