you pay directly to the Public Health Department. We need
to have a copy of the Home Assessment for our files. If you
are in the hospital, the Hospital Case Manager will assist
you in forwarding the PRI/Screen to Middletown Park Rehabilitation and Health Care Center. Upon completion of your application
