Pa. Code 5320.51

Treatment plan

This regulation requires the interdisciplinary treatment team at a Long-Term Structured Residence (LTSR) to complete an initial assessment upon admission and develop both an initial treatment plan within 72 hours and a comprehensive treatment plan within 10 days. The comprehensive plan must address the resident's psychiatric, psychosocial, medical, behavioral, and rehabilitative needs, set measurable time-limited goals, identify responsible staff, and be developed collaboratively with resident participation. Operators must document why less restrictive alternatives to the LTSR were not utilized and ensure the plan is understandable to a layperson.
