A determination shall be based upon an assessment of the strengths, needs, and preferences of the resident, the care and services offered or arranged for by the facility in accordance with facility policy, and any limitations in law or rule related to admission criteria or continued residency for the type of license held by the facility under this part. A resident may not be moved from one facility to another without consultation with and agreement from the resident or, if applicable, the resident's representative or designee or the resident's family, guardian, surrogate, or attorney in fact. In the case of a resident who has been placed by the department or the Department of Children and Families, the administrator must notify the appropriate contact person in the applicable department.

The condition is documented in the resident's record; and, 3. If the resident's condition fails to improve within 30 days, as documented by a health care provider, the resident must be discharged from the facility. (c) A terminally ill resident who no longer meets the criteria for continued residency may continue to reside in the facility if the following conditions are met: 1. The resident qualifies for, is admitted to, and consents to receive services from a licensed hospice that coordinates and ensures the provision of any additional care and services that the resident may need; 2. Both the resident, or the resident's legal representative if applicable, and the facility agree to continued residency; 3. A licensed hospice, in consultation with the facility, develops and implements a interdisciplinary care plan that specifies the services being provided by hospice and those being provided by the facility; and, 4. Documentation of the requirements of this paragraph is maintained in the resident's file.
