What must be conducted prior to a transfer of a resident?

Prior to the transfer of a resident, it is essential to conduct an evaluation of the resident. This evaluation assesses the resident's medical needs, level of care required, and overall health status. It ensures that the appropriate measures are in place for the resident’s well-being during and after the transfer. The evaluation also considers any specific needs related to the resident’s physical, emotional, and psychological health, which is crucial for a smooth transition to a new setting.

While financial assessments, physical examinations, and home safety assessments might be necessary in different contexts, they do not directly pertain to the evaluation needed specifically for resident transfers. The evaluation focuses on the individual’s current situation, ensuring that all necessary arrangements are made to continue providing proper care.
