La. Admin. Code tit. 48 § I-1501

Current through Register Vol. 50, No. 11, November 20, 2024

Section I-1501 - Policy Statement

A. The following policy and procedures are in effect immediately and remain in effect for each classmember pending completion of the 2.1 evaluation process and implementation of a final individual comprehensive service plan. While DHHR intends to hold the movement of classmembers to a minimum during the evaluation process, it must be recognized that in some instances delaying a move may not be possible or in a classmember's long-ranged interests. It is, therefore, the intent of the process outlined below that careful review, planning, and consideration, with accompanying documentation, will be required in transferring a classmember to another facility or community-based residence. The policy assumes that, where appropriate, proposed residential placements have been reviewed and approved through the regional review process. Pre-movement staffing procedures will in no way replace the Regional Review Committee within its defined scope of responsibility.
