Eligibility

Eleanor Slater Hospital (ESH) is a facility that provides Long-Term Care; patients accepted for admission must qualify for hospital level of care. All psychiatric referrals require a primary psychiatric diagnosis and must meet criteria for admission per the ESH Admission, Discharge, and Transfer Policy. The appropriate campus and unit for admission will be determined by the ESH Admission Team. Internal unit transfers between Cranston and Burrillville (Zambarano Campus) are at the discretion of the ESH clinical treatment team at any time following admission. For health and safety reasons, the patient and/or guardian must agree to basic care and personal hygiene throughout the duration of the hospital course. All least restrictive options must be exhausted prior to ESH referral. Documentation of all alternative referrals may be requested when applicable. If / when patients no longer qualify for hospital level services as determined by the current acute care treatment team, discharge to a less restrictive environment becomes mandatory under federal guidelines.
