Or. Admin. Code § 411-088-0030 - Considerations Required Prior to Involuntary Transfer
Prior to issuing a notice for an involuntary transfer, in order to determine the appropriateness of transfer, the facility shall consider the following:
(1) The availability of
alternatives to transfer.
(2) The
resident's ties to family and community.
(3) The relationships the resident has
developed with other residents and facility staff.
(4) The duration of the resident's stay at
the facility.
(5) The medical needs
of the resident and the availability of medical services.
(6) The age of the resident and degree of
physical and cognitive impairment.
(7) The availability of a receiving facility
that would accept the resident and provide service consistent with the
resident's need for care.
(8) The
consistency of the receiving facility's services with the activities and
routine with which the resident is familiar, and the receiving facility's
ability to provide the resident with similar access to personal items
significant to the resident and enjoyed by the resident at the transferring
facility.
(9) The probability that
the transfer would result in improved or worsened mental, physical, or social
functioning, or in reduced dependency of the resident.
(10) The type and amount of preparation for
the move, including but not limited to:
(a)
Solicitation of the resident's friends and/or family in preparing the resident
for the move;
(b) Visitation by the
resident to (prior to actual transfer) or familiarity of the resident with the
place to which the resident is to be transferred.
(11) On-site consultation by an individual
with specific expertise in mental health services if the basis for considering
transfer is behavioral, e.g., gero-psychiatric consultation.
