DHS Moves Preadmission Screening Information to Senior Linkage Line

The Minnesota Board on Aging has moved the state policy for pre-admission screenings for nursing facility admission to the Senior LinkAge Line website. The document on this site, which replaces two previous bulletins (19-25-02 and 19-25-03), will be updated regularly as pre-admission screening and level of care policies change.

Members should be aware that the Minnesota Department of Human Services (DHS) is not moving information about OBRA Level II screening for individuals with developmental disabilities or mental illness to the Senior Linkage Line web page. Level II screening policies are covered in the following documents:

• CBSM – OBRA Level II evaluative report for people with developmental disabilities
• Mental Health Screening, DHS Bulletin 21-25-02
