Mich. Admin. Code R. 330.5091 - Authorized leave of judicially admitted residents
Rule 5091.
(1) A
leave for a visit constitutes a conditional and revocable release of a
resident, granted for temporary purposes to provide a short-term experience
outside the facility for an individual not yet thought to be capable of making
a satisfactory adjustment on a long-term basis.
(2) Convalescent leave shall constitute a
conditional and revocable release of a resident in his own custody or in the
custody of another person, granted for purposes of continuing care and
treatment by a facility while providing a longer term experience outside the
facility for an individual not yet thought to be capable of making a
satisfactory adjustment without this form of treatment. At the time a facility
director determines the suitability of release for a judicially admitted
resident, consideration for discharge shall have preference.
(3) A resident, while in the custody of a
facility, shall not be permitted leave when in the judgment of the facility
director it would be harmful to the resident or others.
(4) The department shall not be responsible
for providing transportation for the return to a facility of a resident on
convalescent leave. Exceptions to this may be made in special instances with
the approval of the director of the department.
(5) Convalescent leave for a resident
intending to go to another state shall not be granted without the approval of
the director of the department.
(6)
A facility shall not accept liability for expenses incurred by or for a
resident on leave unless this expense is authorized in advance.
