This assessment will include both a personal interview and a record review including medical and social histories. A prospective resident’s health will need to be screened by a health care professional within 90 days prior to admission. The findings of this health examination need to be provided in a written statement and indicate that the prospective resident is free of communicable disease. An admissions agreement will be completed prior to admission and signed by the resident or the resident’s guardian if that person’s consent is legally required. All admissions will be concurrent with DHS 83.27 and DHS 83.28.
