Common questions about DOH 3122

What is 3122?

DOH 3122 is the New York State Department of Health Assisted Living Residence Medical Evaluation. Persons who, by reason of age and/or physical and/or mental limitations who are in need of assistance with activities of daily living, can be cared for in adult residential care settings, or if applicable, an EALR or SNALR.

When is this form not the right one?

Adult Homes, Enriched Housing Programs, Residences for Adults, Assisted Living Residences, Enhanced Assisted Living Residences and Special Needs Assisted Living Residences are not appropriate for persons in need of constant medical care and medical supervision, and these persons should not be admitted or retained in these settings because the facility lacks the staff and expertise to provide needed services.

3122 Form PDF Details

The DOH-3122 form, titled the Assisted Living Residence Medical Evaluation, is a mandatory document issued by the New York State Department of Health. Assisted living facilities require this form before admitting any new resident to confirm that appropriate care can be provided.

Who needs to complete the 3122 form? Any individual applying for admission to a New York State licensed assisted living residence must have this evaluation completed by a licensed physician, physician assistant, or certified nurse practitioner. Family members and the resident cannot complete this form.

The form captures critical health data including vital signs, current medical diagnoses, prescribed medications with dosages, known allergies, dietary restrictions, immunization history, and tuberculosis screening results. It also evaluates the resident's ability to perform activities of daily living, including bathing, dressing, eating, mobility, and continence management. This assessment helps facility staff confirm whether the prospective resident's care needs fall within the services the assisted living facility can provide.

The completed 3122 form must be submitted to the assisted living facility before or at the time of admission. Facilities keep this documentation on file as part of the resident record. For related care planning documents, consider reviewing a New York medical power of attorney, a New York DNR form, or a New York living will to ensure complete care planning.
