Mom needs placement in a nursing home. How long is a NY community PRI good for?

Who decided? You will need to get a doctor's referral. The PRI documents need for care, but you need a doctor's referral to get admitted to nursing home. Start with her primary care physician. The community medicaid providers can also give you referrals for social workers that can help guide you through the process. Each change in status will require a new evaluation, so a PRI is only good for the week that it last reviewed. The requirements for in home vs nursing home care may be different so start with Medicaid social worker or your doctor.

Chitchat, I am pushing your post back to the front page to see if there are any caregivers here who are familiar the NY community PRI, who could help with your question.
