1. (a) All facilities shall complete a face-to face screening with each individual to determine appropriateness of admission.
2. (b) The CCARC shall document the face-to-face screening between the potential consumer and the CCARC including how the consumer was welcomed and engaged, how the consumer was assisted to identify goals and experience hope, how the consumer received integrated screening to identify both immediate and ongoing needs and how the consumer was assisted to determine appropriateness of admission, and/or to access other appropriate services.
