Communicating Assisted Living Resident
Policies to Residents and Responsible Parties
|
(1) Before admitting a resident, facility staff
must explain and provide a copy of the disclosure statement to the
resident, family, or responsible party. An assisted living
facility that provides brain injury rehabilitation services must
attach to its disclosure statement a specific statement that
licensure as an assisted living facility does not indicate state
review, approval, or endorsement of the facility's rehabilitative
services. The facility must document receipt of the disclosure
statement.
(2) The facility must provide residents with a copy of the
Resident Bill of Rights.
(3) The facility must have written policies regarding residents
accepted, services provided, charges, refunds, responsibilities of
facility and residents, privileges of residents, and other rules
and regulations.
(4) Each facility must make available copies of the resident
policies to staff and to residents and/or residents' responsible
parties at time of admission. Documented notification of any
changes to the policies must occur before the effective date of
the changes.
(5) Before or upon admission of a resident, a facility must notify
the resident and, if applicable, the resident's legally authorized
representative, of DADS' rules and the facility's policies related
to restraint and seclusion.
