Special Needs Clients, the Special Needs Registry, and Services During Emergencies

Sets the client-level emergency duties: telling every client on admission about the county special needs registry and recording whether the client will evacuate or stay and who will provide care; collecting and submitting registration information and giving special needs clients registration information each year; keeping a current prioritized list of clients who need services in an emergency; recording for each registered client how care will continue; leaving a medication, supply and equipment list in the home; continuing the same type and quantity of services in special needs shelters; and documenting good faith efforts when services cannot continue.
