How do I get my loved one into Serenity Lodge?
Answer:
Call 1-800-225-7225
Through this 1-800 number you arrange a visit to your home from a DHW Care Coordinator; who will do an assessment of your needs or your family member’s needs. This Department of Health Care Coordinator will go through the paper work necessary to complete the application for your entry into any long term care facility on the department’s list. A complete list of all facilities is on the N.S. government’s website. The family names their first two choices from this list.
No names go on a facility’s wait list until the application is totally complete.
Once your name is on the list the District placement officer can tell you what number your name is on the facility’s wait list.
