(1) Admission:
(a) Residents shall be admitted only upon the approval of an interdisciplinary team. The facility shall admit only persons who have a physical or mental condition which requires developmental nursing services and a planned program of active treatment;
(b) The interdisciplinary team shall:
1. Conduct a comprehensive evaluation of the individual, not more than three (3) months before admission, covering physical, emotional, social, and cognitive factors; and
2. Prior to admission define the need for service without regard to availability of those services. The team shall review all available and applicable programs of care, treatment, and training and record its findings;
(c) If admission is not the best plan but the individual must be admitted nevertheless, the facility shall clearly acknowledge that the admission is inappropriate and initiate plans to actively explore alternatives;
(d) Before admission, the resident and a responsible member of his family or guardian shall be informed in writing of the established policies of the facility and fees, reimbursement, visitation rights during serious illness, visiting hours, type of diets offered, and services offered; and
(e) The facility shall provide and maintain a system for identifying each resident’s personal property and facilities for safekeeping of his declared valuables. Each resident’s clothing and other property shall be reserved for the resident’s own use.
(2) Discharge planning. Prior to discharge the facility shall have a postinstitutional plan which identifies the residential setting and support services which would enable the resident to live in a less restrictive alternative to the current setting. Before a resident is released, the facility shall:
(a) Offer counseling to parents or guardians who request the release of a resident concerning the advantages and disadvantages of the release;
(b) Plan for release of the resident, to assure that appropriate services are available in the resident’s new environment, including protective supervision and other follow-up services; and
(c) Prepare and place in the resident’s record a summary of findings, progress, and plans.
