Before moving to a care facility, an assessment by a qualified assessor, usually an RN, is required by WA State. If you’re moving to an assisted living facility or receiving Medicaid payment there is no fee for this assessment. If you’re moving to an adult family home you’ll need to hire a nurse for around $400 to complete the assessment. These nurses are in the practice of doing adult family home pre-admission assessments.
