closer (2022) it is important to consistently be working on compliance with the

With the deadline for existing providers getting closer and closer
(2022) it is important to consistently be working on compliance with the HCBS
final settings rule. FYI... New providers must be compliant when opening. One
hot topic is exceptions to the HCBS rights. Most existing providers see the
right to visitors at any time, food at any time, and come and go at any time
and immediately think of all the incidents. They sometimes think that a conversation with the team will
suffice for limiting these rights but that is NOT the case.
If an exception needs to be made for any individual, the exception must
be discussed with the team, a third party must complete an assessment and if
the exception is made, it must be documented thoroughly in the Individual's
ISP.
We must remember that the same energy we have when someone tries to
tell us what we can and cannot have and/or do, must be exercised when the
individuals we support have restrictions or exceptions to their human rights
and HCBS rights.
Don't wait until the last minute to become compliant with HCBS Final
Settings.
Until the next time!
