   ADMISSIONS

   ADMISSIONS - CONTINUED RESIDENCY429.26 Appropriateness of placements; examinations of residents.- (1) The owner or administrator of a facility is responsible for determining the appropriateness of admission of an individual to the facility and for determining the continued appropriateness of residence of an individual in the facility. A determination must be based upon an evaluation of the strengths, needs, and preferences of the resident, a medical examination, 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. The following criteria apply to the determination of appropriateness for admission and continued residency of an individual in a facility: (a) A facility may admit or retain a resident who receives a health care service or treatment that is designed to be provided within a private residential setting if all requirements for providing that service or treatment are met by the facility or a third party. (b) A facility may admit or retain a resident who requires the use of assistive devices. (c) A facility may admit or retain an individual receiving hospice services if the arrangement is agreed to by the facility and the resident, additional care is provided by a licensed hospice, and the resident is under the care of a physician who agrees that the physical needs of the resident can be met at the facility. The resident must have a plan of care which delineates how the facility and the hospice will meet the scheduled and unscheduled needs of the resident, including, if applicable, staffing for nursing care. (d)1. Except for a resident who is receiving hospice services as provided in paragraph (c), a facility may not admit or retain a resident who is bedridden or who requires 24-hour nursing supervision. For purposes of this paragraph, the term "bedridden" means that a resident is confined to a bed because of the inability to: a. Move, turn, or reposition without total physical assistance; b. Transfer to a chair or wheelchair without total physical assistance; or c. Sit safely in a chair or wheelchair without personal assistance or a physical restraint. 2. A resident may continue to reside in a facility if, during residency, he or she is bedridden for no more than 7 consecutive days. 3. If a facility is licensed to provide extended congregate care, a resident may continue to reside in a facility if, during residency, he or she is bedridden for no more than 14 consecutive days. (2) 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. (3) A physician, physician assistant, or advanced practice registered nurse who is employed by an assisted living facility to provide an initial examination for admission purposes may not have financial interests in the facility. 59A-36.006 (4) CONTINUED RESIDENCY. Except as follows in paragraphs (a) through (c) of this subsection, criteria for continued residency in any licensed facility must be the same as the criteria for admission. As part of the continued residency criteria, a resident must have a face-to-face medical examination by a health care practitioner at least every 3 years after the initial assessment, or after a significant change, whichever comes first. A significant change is defined in Rule 59A-36.002, F.A.C. The results of the examination must be recorded on the practitioner's form or on AHCA Form 1823, which is incorporated by reference in paragraph (2)(b) of this rule and must be completed in accordance with t

   RESIDENT CARE - THIRD PARTY SERVICES

   RESIDENT CARE

   RESIDENT CARE - THIRD PARTY SERVICES(6) THIRD PARTY SERVICES. (a) Nothing in this rule chapter is intended to prohibit a resident or the resident's representative from independently arranging, contracting, and paying for services provided by a third party of the resident's choice, including a licensed home health agency or private nurse, or receiving services through an out-patient clinic, provided the resident meets the criteria for admission and continued residency and the resident complies with the facility's policy relating to the delivery of services in the facility by third parties. The facility's policies must require the third party to coordinate with the facility regarding the resident's condition and the services being provided. (b) When residents require or arrange for services from a third party provider, the facility administrator or designee must allow for the receipt of those services, provided that the resident meets the criteria for admission and continued residency. The facility, when requested by residents or representatives, must coordinate with the provider to facilitate the receipt of care and services provided to meet the particular resident's needs. (c) The administrator or designee must ensure that: 1. Care coordination includes documented communications about the resident's condition and response to treatment or services ordered by the physician which may impact the resident's appropriateness for continued residency in the facility; 2. Communications occur at least once every 30 days and whenever there is a significant change in the resident's condition; and 3. If physician ordered treatments or services occur less often than once a month, communications must be conducted according to the ordered treatment or service schedule and whenever there is a significant change in the resident's condition. 4. When communication with the third party provider is unsuccessful, at least two attempts at communication on two separate days must be documented. Documentation must include the name of the person from the third party provider with whom contact was attempted, the method of communication, and the date and time of the attempts. This documentation must be included in the resident's record in accordance with the timeframes in subparagraphs 59A-36.007(6)(c)2. and 3. (d) If residents accept assistance from the facility in arranging and coordinating third party services, the facility's assistance does not represent a guarantee that third party services will be received. If the facility's efforts to make arrangements for third party services are unsuccessful or declined by residents, the facility must include documentation in the residents' record explaining why its efforts were unsuccessful. This documentation will serve to demonstrate its compliance with this subsection.
