    Make a Referral to Gaylord Specialty Healthcare

    Hospital Referrals

    To refer a patient from an acute care setting, call the Admissions Department at (203) 284-2810, use AllScripts, or FAX: (203) 284-2811. Gaylord's Admissions staff can answer questions and have a Clinical Nurse Evaluator review the patient's clinical needs, conduct a physical evaluation, and determine if the patient is appropriate for admission. An admissions nurse conducts chart reviews for patients outside our geographic area.

      Does the patient have multisystem failures?

      Is the patient in need of intensive wound care?
    • Gaylord-swirl-1
      Is the patient too unstable for transfer to a lower level of care?

    • Gaylord-swirl-1
      Is the patient’s anticipated length of stay longer than 14 days?
