This includes financial applications, a completed 1823 form by your attending physician for assisted living, DNR (Do Not Resuscitate) on yellow paper, living will, power of attorney, health care surrogate, long-term care insurance details, veteran discharge records (if applicable), and your Covid vaccination certificate.

Consider Professional Assistance
