What paperwork is needed to start the application process to a skilled nursing facility? DMA – 6, Level 1, History and Physical, current list of medications, and any medical notes. All paperwork must be completed by the primary care physician. What qualifies someone for a level of care in a skilled nursing facility? The facility and physician determine the level of care for which a person is eligible by evaluating how much actual assistance the individual needs with activities of daily living (dressing, bathing, walking, eating, toileting, transferring) and how much nursing supervision and medical care is required. What happens when I run out of money? When private pay residents have used nearly all of their financial resources, they generally become eligible for Medicaid.
