Federal law requires a CARES assessment for all individuals who request Medicaid reimbursement for nursing facility placement or home and community services. A nursing home applicant assessment provides an evaluation of the medical necessity for nursing facility care, the level of care required by the individual, and a pre-admission screening to determine serious mental illness or intellectual disabilities. Florida residents seeking Medicaid assistance for nursing facilities or community-based long-term care services must meet both medical and financial eligibility requirements. Financial eligibility is determined by the Florida Department of Children and Families or the Social Security Administration (SSA).
