Adult Evaluation and Review Services (AERS) is a state-mandated program, which provides assistance to functionally and chronically disabled adults who are at risk of institutionalization. AERS staff conduct a comprehensive evaluation to identify home and community-based services that will meet their individual needs, enable them to avoid institutionalization and remain as independent as possible in the least restrictive environment.

Eligibility

Any resident of Baltimore County in need of a long term care assessment can be referred to AERS. Anyone can make a referral for an assessment.

Assessment Process

An assessment is completed by a nurse or social worker in the patient's home or current location. Upon completion of the assessment, an individualized plan of care is developed to address identified needs. Following an AERS evaluation, the individual may request assistance to obtain the services recommended in the plan of care. Case management services can be provided to those individuals requiring further assistance.

Services

AERS provides the following services:

• Evaluation of medical and psychosocial problems
• Evaluation for alternative living arrangements
• Referral and linkage to community resources
• Consultation with professionals and interested parties
• Coordination of services   

Cost

There is no fee to Baltimore County residents seeking assessment.
