An RCFE that provides care to six or fewer residents in the licensee's own home is classified as which type of facility?
Answer: A Residential Care Facility for the Elderly — Small (RCFE-S)
A Small RCFE (RCFE-S) is licensed for six or fewer residents and is typically operated in the licensee's personal residence.
According to RCFE regulations, what is the minimum age for a resident to be admitted to an RCFE?
Answer: 60 years old
RCFEs are licensed to serve adults aged 60 and older, although facilities may admit residents younger than 60 if the individual's needs are appropriate.
A prospective resident has a current diagnosis requiring skilled nursing care on an ongoing basis. What must the RCFE administrator do?
Answer: Decline admission, as ongoing skilled nursing care is outside an RCFE's scope
RCFEs are non-medical facilities and may not admit or retain residents requiring ongoing skilled nursing services that exceed the facility's scope of care.
What is the purpose of the RCFE Pre-Admission Appraisal?
Answer: To assess whether the facility can meet the prospective resident's needs before admission
The Pre-Admission Appraisal evaluates whether the facility has the staff, environment, and services needed to safely meet the prospective resident's care needs.
If an RCFE resident's condition changes significantly, the administrator must update the resident's Individual Service Plan (ISP) within how many days of identifying the change?
Answer: 30 days
When a significant change in a resident's condition is identified, the ISP must be updated within 30 days to reflect revised care needs.
An RCFE serving residents with dementia must ensure that all direct-care staff who work with those residents complete dementia-specific training of at least how many hours?
Answer: 8 hours
California requires at least 8 hours of dementia-specific training for all direct-care staff providing care to residents with dementia in an RCFE.
Under RCFE regulations, residents must be provided the opportunity to participate in outside activities and community life. Who has final authority over a resident's decision to leave the facility temporarily?
Answer: The resident, unless a conservator or legal authority restricts it
Residents retain the right to make their own decisions about coming and going, unless a legally appointed conservator or court order restricts that right.
