Average Admission Timeline
For most Wichita families, the admission process takes 1–3 weeks. This allows time for assessments, paperwork, financial arrangements, and move-in preparation.
What May Delay Move-In
- Incomplete medical records or physician’s forms
- Room availability (waitlists for certain unit types)
- Financial verification or benefits coordination
- Family logistics (downsizing, moving furniture, etc.)
Emergency Admissions
In urgent cases, admission may be completed in 24–72 hours if the required forms and assessments are expedited and a room is available. Communities strike a balance between speed and ensuring safety and compliance with state regulations.
