The Level of Care Scoring Tool is based on a simple principle: The amount of care and service a resident needs depends on the complexity of his/her physical, functional, and psychosocial problems and needs. Provider responsibilities to meet those needs may be divided into the following areas.

The Level of Care (LOC) assessment tool determines if an individual with intellectual or developmental disabilities requires the support typically provided by an institution (i.e., institutional level of care).

The Assisted Living Resident Assessment Tool consists of four components, which include the Health Care Practitioner's Resident Physical Assessment, the Assisted Living Manager's Resident Assessment, the Level of Care Scoring Tool, and the Identifiers for Awake Overnight Staff. The Resident Assessment Tool is based on the Assisted Living Program regulations (COMAR 10.07.14) and is designed to provide the case manager/delegating nurse and the assisted living manager with the necessary resident-based information to provide or arrange for services that meet the needs of the residents in the assisted living program.

The Meaning of Level Care

What is Level of Care?

There are 3 levels of care: 1(low), 2 (moderate), and 3 (high). A level 1 resident would need the least assistance, while someone who is a level 3 would require the most assistance. (click link for more details) The level of care is determined by a scoring tool that can be found on the Maryland’s Office of Healthcare Quality website (provide link if possible)
