Landmark Medical Center
Frequently Asked Questions
What happens when I get to Landmark Medical Center?
You will have an initial assessment with a licensed mental health professional, and if hospitalization is indicated we will assist you through the admission process. You will meet with nursing staff who will ask a few more questions to ensure your safety and comfort, orient you to the patient care unit, and answer any questions you may have. Your belongings will be inventoried to ensure safety, and a picture will be taken of all patients to assist with properly identifying a patient while they are in a hospital unit.
If, after the initial assessment, it is determined that you do not need services provided by Landmark Medical Center, we will assist you in finding appropriate services. The Intake and referral clinician will provide a written list of outside professionals and/or programs and services.
How long will I stay?
The length of stay is determined on an individual basis with consideration of each patient’s treatment and discharge plans. A patient’s stay will be determined through consultation with one’s treatment team, under the direction of the attending psychiatrist.
