Goold Health Systems Assessments

That all consumers, especially those needing additional services beyond Adult Day, Contact Goold Health Systems for an assessment. The State of Maine requires this assessment to determine consumer eligibility for a variety of services (state-funded or through MaineCare). Anyone can request an assessment by calling 1-800-609-3210. Please visit this page on care choices to learn more about Goold assessments.

We recommend that a caregiver/family member be present at the assessment to assist the consumer in answering questions about his/her needs. If the Goold assessing nurse does not find the consumer eligible for Adult Day, the consumer may still be able to access Section 61 funding for Adult Day.
