Medical Eligibility Screening

We’re with you in evaluating elders’
health needs.

Whether it’s getting assistance with personal care, day health services, or taking a proper look at the health advantages of nursing home care, Tri-Valley Inc. is there for elders.

Our Coordination of Care Department nurses conduct screenings that provide valuable information, to see that the right health services are delivered to each individual. Our staff of registered nurses coordinates with other medical professionals and services that provide health care, and other Tri-Valley programs that keep seniors comfortably at home.

When it becomes advisable to at least think about nursing home placement, our staff gathers the information to determine if a person is medically eligible for nursing home placement paid for by Medicaid/MassHealth. All screenings involve an assessment by a nurse with medical information provided by the client’s doctor or a certified home health agency involved with the elder.

The nurses may also screen for adult day health services, or for an electronic Personal Emergency Response System that an elder in the community who is on Medicaid may require.

Further, the nurse may be able to suggest other options that would not involve nursing home placement. If someone is not nursing home-appropriate, a Care Manager may assist in developing a community-based care plan.
