Coordination of Care and Clients in Assisted Living Facilities
Sets out how the Agency coordinates each client's services with the client's family, physician, managed care plan and other providers, with the client's agreement and within privacy law; how direct care staff report, and supervisors act on, a change in a client's condition; and how the Agency works with assisted living facilities and adult family-care homes under Rule 59A-8.008(5), F.A.C., including the 72-hour report of an unlicensed facility and the fair market value rules for facility arrangements.

In short
- In an emergency, call 911 first.
- For any other change in a client (a fall, new confusion, not eating, pain, a skin problem), call the office before you leave.
- Write only what you saw or heard yourself, at the time you saw it.
- Share client information only with the people the client has named, or as the office tells you.
- If a client lives in an assisted living facility, do only our tasks, not the facility's, and follow the coordination plan.
