Statewide Evaluation and Planning Services (STEPS):
The STEPS evaluation is a free evaluation that is completed in the home by a nurse or social worker. The evaluations help to make recommendations and identify resources that help the aged and/or disabled adults who are at risk for nursing facility placement to remain living in the community.
Eligibility: Aged and or disabled adults at risk for nursing facility placement who wish to remain in their homes/community that do not have full active community Medical Assistance Benefits.
