Medicaid Pre-Admission Nursing Home Screenings

The Health Department assists the Department of Social Services in screening Medicaid eligible individuals who are considering admission to a nursing home. Persons considering nursing home placement to be paid for by Medicaid must request this screening through the Department of Social Services in their county of residence. They should have discussed their Medicaid eligibility with Social Services. To qualify for Medicaid nursing home placement or other Medicaid services like Personal Care, Waiver services, etc., the individual must be eligible for Medicaid and meet all the Medicaid criteria for Nursing Home Placement. If the individual does not meet the criteria set forth by Medicaid for nursing home placement, then the individual is not eligible for the other Medicaid personal care in home services.
For more information, call your County Department of Social Services.
