(2) To serve those persons who are the most functionally impaired and who have no or inadequate alternative service resources; and

(3) To assure access to services paid by the Department to eligible persons; and

(4) To assure that services paid by the Department, and the setting in which they are provided are safe and adequate; and

(5) To manage limited resources to enable the greatest possible number of persons to receive needed services through a priority system based on the Department's assessment of the individual's functional impairment and alternative service resources.
