N.M. Admin. Code § 8.371.6.12 - EMERGENCY SERVICES
A.
Services in a community living setting may be provided on an emergency basis to
any person believed to be developmentally disabled when a community agency
determines that there is imminent danger that the physical health or safety of
the person will be seriously impaired if the services are not provided, and
that the normal admissions procedure, including consent screening and
evaluation, cannot be accomplished in time to avoid danger.
B. When emergency services are provided, the
community agency should document the nature of the emergency resulting in
services being provided.
C. When
the person served is receiving emergency services, the community agency should
evaluate the person in a timely manner to determine if the person served will
continue to receive services from their community agency.
D. Emergency services should not be provided
for more than seven days unless an evaluation has begun, or, for more than 21
days in total, unless a court or the authority orders otherwise.
