A service plan is mandatory for each resident admitted under which license?

A service plan is indeed mandatory for each resident admitted under the Assisted Living Facility (ALF) license, specifically the Enhanced Care Community (ECC) license. This requirement is grounded in the focus on providing a personalized approach to care. The ECC is designed for residents who may have higher levels of medical needs or require additional assistance compared to those in standard assisted living settings.

In this context, a service plan serves several critical functions: it outlines specific care needs, provides a tailored approach to the individual's personal requirements, and ensures that all staff involved in the resident's care are aware of the necessary support and interventions. This individualized care framework helps promote better outcomes for residents, ensuring that they receive the appropriate level of assistance and monitoring.

Other licenses mentioned, such as ACF (Adult Care Facility), LNS (Limited Nursing Services), and RCC (Residential Care Community), may have different regulations regarding service plans, but the ECC clearly prioritizes a structured, individualized service plan for each resident to cater specifically to their enhanced care requirements.
