ARM 37.34.318. PLACEMENT DETERMINATIONS: SUPPORTED LIVING SCREENING

(1) Supported living depends on support services and assistance rather than on existing facilities, so factors relating to availability of supports must be considered when making a decision regarding supported living services. (2) Supported living services are screened using the procedures and criteria in ARM 37.34.306 through 37.34.310 except as otherwise provided in this rule. (3) Screening committee determinations regarding supported living consider three criteria in addition to the standard factors: (a) whether needed supports as listed in the referral are available in the community; (b) whether there are resources available to fund the supports listed in the referral that do not already exist in the community; and (c) whether there are legal or medical obstacles to placement at the time of the referral.
