N.Y. Public Health Law § 4659*2: Individualized service plan

* § 4659. Individualized service plan. 1. A written individualized

service plan shall be developed for each resident of an assisted living

residence upon admission.

2. The individualized service plan shall be developed with the

resident, the resident's representative and resident's legal

representative if any, the assisted living operator, and if necessary a

home care services agency. The initial individualized service plan shall

be developed in consultation with the resident's physician; provided

such consultation is documented in writing by the residence. If a

resident is determined by his or her physician not to be in need of home

care services, the participation of a home care services agency in an

evaluation conducted pursuant to this subdivision shall not be

necessary.

3. The individualized service plan shall be developed in accordance

with the medical, nutritional, rehabilitation, functional, cognitive and

other needs of the resident.

4. The individualized service plan shall include the services to be

provided, and how and by whom services will be provided and accessed.

5. The individualized service plan shall be reviewed and revised as

frequently as necessary to reflect the changing care needs of the

resident, but no less frequently than every six months. To the extent

necessary, such review and revision shall be undertaken in consultation

with the resident's physician.
