Assessments

A Nursing Facility Level of Care (LOC) assessment is a way to measure care needs that must be met to go to a Medicaid nursing facility or to access long-term care services and supports from Home and Community Based Services (HCBS) waiver services. We provide assessments for several HCBS Waiver services available in Indiana for adults and children.

We also administer the Preadmission Screening and Resident Review (PASRR). This requirement for admission to any Medicaid-certified facility helps to make sure that people with disabilities receive care in the best place to meet their needs and receive the right services.
