The transition from a skilled nursing facility to home can be confusing as well as complex. However, there is a team of professionals, whose commitment to the senior population, works to ensure a successful transition.
Kim Angliss | Business Support and Intake Care Coordinator
Meet Kim Angliss, LISW & Intake Care Coordinator
Kim has served as a Business Support and Intake Care Coordinator for seven years. Her primary responsibilities include arranging Home Health services as well as related ancillary durable medical equipment (DME) upon discharge as a patient from a StoneGate Senior Living facility.
Asked how she makes the transition for the patient of a Stonegate healthcare facility to return home, she answered: “By collaborating with a social worker to identify and align the services and equipment needed to their discharge. Doing so reduces the likelihood of admissions due to complications.” She adds that it also allows patients to continue living where they feel happiest and most comfortable — their home.”
Kim is a graduate of Texas Woman’s University.
