Advance Care Directive (Living Will)
When patients are admitted to the hospital, they are asked if they have an Advance Care Directive or living will. If you do not have one, Rancho Springs Hospital can provide the information and documents you need. Learn more about Advance Care Directive >

Discharge
Nurses will help patients gather their belongings and provide discharge instructions. Upon discharge, patients will first be escorted to the Patient Service Representative Area to finalize payment arrangements and then to their waiting ride.
