First Visit Checklist
Print this page or keep it on your phone. Tick things off as you go — nothing on it is sent to Rosecare.
Bring with you
- A list of every medication and supplement you take, with doses (or the bottles themselves)
- The names of other providers involved in your care
- Any prior psychiatric records or a summary of past treatment, if you have them (not required)
- Insurance card and photo ID, if you plan to use insurance
- Reading glasses or hearing aids if you use them
- A family member or caregiver, if you would like them involved
Think about beforehand
- What made you decide to reach out now
- When the difficulties started and what has changed
- What has helped before, and what has not
- What you hope will be different after treatment
- Questions you want to ask — write them down
Practical
- Confirm the visit format (in person or video) and the time
- Plan to arrive a few minutes early, or test your video connection
- Allow time afterward; first visits are unhurried
- Know who to call if you need to reschedule
If it is a video visit
- A private, quiet space
- A charged phone, tablet or computer with a working camera and microphone
- A reliable connection; have the office number handy in case the call drops
Not sure about something? Call the office during business hours. For an emergency, call 911 or call or text 988.
