Fort Bayard Medical Center

Fort Bayard Medical Center's framework for admission rests on the principle of meeting the medical and nursing needs of prospective residents, aligning with Medicaid's Pre Admission Screening and Resident Review (PASARR) program. The facility does not compromise on care quality and may deny admission based on severity levels of medical, psychological, or nursing conditions that surpass its capacity. FBMC maintains a transparent and nondiscriminatory admission policy, backed by coordination with medical directors and nursing services to ensure applicants are admitted as long as the facility can adequately meet their specific needs.

Nutrition and dining are essential aspects of resident care at FBMC. The center's Dietary Services are professionally managed by dieticians and nutritionists who oversee dining arrangements and ensure dietary requirements are met with high-quality meals. Regular dietary interviews help tailor food choices to individual resident preferences and health needs, resulting in a satisfying dining experience for all at FBMC. FBMC's focus on dietary care serves as a cornerstone for residents' overall health and enjoyment, showing the center's dedication to providing a well-rounded, comprehensive service.
