The state of Washington and Alaska requires a comprehensive geriatric assessment be completed before any senior/adult can move into a licensed care facility. The state requires this information to establish what level of care the senior requires which will determine what type of facility will best meet the needs of that individual. It also allows the facility that is chosen to have important detailed information on all aspects of care so an appropriate monthly charge can be determined.
This “professional” evaluation ensures the senior is placed in the proper type of facility while being appropriately charge for their care. Assessments are completed by a Registered Nurse or Masters level Social Worker and will be completed in the comfort of the seniors own home or care setting. Adult Care Placements, Inc. has access to several qualified Assessors in your area and will contact who is available and schedule the evaluation for you. There is a fee for this service (generally around $300) and payment is due at the time of service and is paid directly to the assessment professional.
Please Note: The Assessors are independent contractors and are not employed by or affiliated with our agency. We do NOT profit from geriatric assessments at any time.
