Chapter 110. Assessment in Assisted Living Facilities
11/21/2024

22VAC30-110-30. Determination of services to be provided.

A. The assessment shall be conducted using the UAI. The UAI is comprised of a short assessment and a full assessment. The short assessment is designed to briefly assess the individual's need for appropriate level of care and services and to determine if a full assessment is needed.

B. The following sections of the UAI shall be completed as follows:

1. For private pay individuals, the assessment shall include sections related to identification and background, functional status, which includes ADLs, continence, ambulation, IADLs, medication administration, and behavior pattern. The private pay or public pay UAI may be used.

2. For public pay individuals, the short form of the UAI shall be completed. The short form consists of sections related to identification and background, and functional status (i.e., the first four pages of the UAI), plus sections on medication administration, and behavior pattern. If, upon assessment, it is determined that the individual is dependent in at least two ADLs or is dependent in behavior, then the full assessment shall be completed.

3. For private pay and public pay individuals, the prohibited conditions section shall be completed.

C. The UAI shall be completed within 90 days prior to the date of admission to the ALF. If there has been a significant change in the individual's condition since the completion of the UAI that would affect the admission to an ALF, a new UAI shall be completed as specified in 22VAC30-110-20.

D. When an individual moves to an ALF from another ALF, a new UAI is not required except that a new UAI shall be completed whenever there is a significant change in the individual's condition or the most recent UAI was completed more than 12 months ago.

E. In emergency placements, the UAI shall be completed within seven working days from the date of placement. An emergency placement shall occur only when the emergency is documented and approved by (i) a local department adult protective services worker for public pay individuals or (ii) a local department adult protective services worker or independent physician for private pay individuals.

F. The UAI shall be completed annually on all individuals residing in ALFs and whenever there is a significant change in the individual's condition.

G. The ALF shall provide an area for assessments and reassessment to be conducted that ensures the individual's privacy and protects confidentiality.

H. At the request of the ALF, the individual residing in the ALF, the individual's legal representative, the individual's physician, the Virginia Department of Social Services, or the local department, an independent assessment using the UAI shall be completed to determine whether the individual's care needs are being met in the current ALF. An independent assessment is an assessment that is completed by an entity other than the original assessor. The ALF shall assist the individual in obtaining the independent assessment as requested. If the request is for a private pay individual, the entity requesting the independent assessment shall be responsible for paying for the assessment.

I. The assessor shall consult with other appropriate human service professionals as needed to complete the assessment.

J. Qualified assessors who are employees of local departments shall enter ALF assessments in the department designated case management system.
