Adult

Crossroads Regional Hospital wishes to welcome you to our Adult Services. We, as a professional staff, are committed to working
with you to improve your life situation. This handbook is designed to assist you in understanding our program and hopefully to
answer any questions you may have.

Your doctor, therapist, nurses and staff will all be working together with you to form a team to confront your problems. Each
member of the team will be evaluating your situation and when all the evaluations are completed, we will meet with you to set goals
and define treatments. These evaluations will be used to treat the discomforts that you feel. It is important that you understand that
our staff will be working with you and that you are a member of the team -- so your involvement is essential. While progress is
being made, sometimes changes are uncomfortable; however, your goal is our goal and working together will ease the stress.

Living in a group situation makes rules and regulations necessary. While you may not understand the reasons for a particular rule
or regulation, these are designed with the best interest of all patients -- as well as safety considerations. The staff will be available
to discuss and/or explain any part of the program that you find problematic. Except as a part of professional therapy, there will be
no touching, holding hands or any physical contact with other patients. Patients are discouraged from visiting in each other’s
rooms.

Crossroads Regional Hospital will be your temporary home and we ask that you treat it as such.

At Crossroads Regional Hospital every patient is entitled to privacy whether on the phone, during visitation or in writing. Out of
respect for the confidentiality and privacy of others, we request that both patients and visitors refrain from discussing names or
identities of anyone who is hospitalized here. At the time of admission you will be given a code number. You will be responsible
for giving this code number to family or friends whom you wish to have knowledge or input regarding your treatment at Crossroads
Regional Hospital.   Your family and friends must use this number if they call to inquire about you or if they visit.

If you have a problem or complaint during your hospital stay, please notify the charge nurse on your unit. If your problem cannot be
resolved at this level, you may contact the Patient Advocate at extension 242.

ADULT SERVICES TRACK I

To ease the transition to inpatient hospitalization all patient will under go an evaluation period in our smaller more secure inpatient
area with decreased stimulus. The length of time the patient will remain in Track I will be determined by the patient’s behavior and
multi-disciplinary evaluation.   Progression to Track II will require a physician’s order.

ADULT SERVICES TRACK II

Track II provides a more intensive program schedule with off unit activities and visitation. Patients who have progressed to Tract II
and are unable to handle the activity level and stimuli may require placement back in Track I

DAILY SCHEDULE
Please note that there is a schedule of activities posted in the day room. Activities are a part of your therapy. You will be required to
attend all activities. While you may not feel like participating in activities, they are important for a number of reasons; exercise,
socialization, understanding ourselves and our behavior, a method of keeping ourselves occupied, etc. Television and telephones
are turned off during scheduled activities to facilitate you treatment.
Temperatures and blood pressures are taken by nursing staff. Your physical condition is important, and therefore, laboratory
studies will be ordered by your doctor. Weights are taken twice weekly.

GOOD MORNING
You will be awakened per the program schedule for your track. Your expected responsibilities include: making your own bed,
putting your clothing away and placing your toilet articles in the hygiene box and returning it to the nurse’s station after use. If you
require assistance with these activities, staff will be available to help you. Your DOOR should remain OPEN after you have dressed
in the morning and throughout the day.
