Section DHS 73.04 - Assessment and case plan(1) ASSESSMENT. Within the limits of state and federal funds, a county department shall carry out an assessment of any person residing in a nursing home who wants to be assessed for eligibility to receive support services within the community rather than within the nursing home, any person seeking admission to or about to be admitted to a nursing home for whom community services represent an alternative to nursing home residence or any person whom the county department judges would otherwise require nursing home care in the absence of comprehensive community services. The assessment shall include a face-to-face discussion with the person or the person's guardian and any appropriate family members and caregivers. The assessment shall result in an outline of what would be required to enable the person to live at home or in a homelike setting integrated with the community and to meet the person's preferences for location, type and manner of services provided.(2) CASE PLAN. The county department shall develop a case plan for non-institutional community services for a person who is assessed and for whom services are feasible, can be financed with available state and federal funds and are preferred to nursing home care by the person or the person's guardian. The case plan shall specify the types and amounts of services to be provided, the manner of service delivery and the assistance to be provided by informal community supports and shall incorporate the participant's preferences to the maximum extent possible.Wis.
