Services in the Community Clause Samples
The 'Services in the Community' clause defines the scope and manner in which services are to be provided within a specific community setting. It typically outlines the types of services covered, such as educational programs, health initiatives, or support activities, and may specify the locations, eligible participants, and standards for delivery. By clearly delineating these parameters, the clause ensures that all parties understand their responsibilities and the intended beneficiaries, thereby promoting effective service delivery and reducing misunderstandings about obligations within the community context.
Services in the Community. 1. Individuals under the age of 18 shall not be admitted to, or otherwise served, in the State Hospitals or on State Hospital grounds, unless the individual meets the criteria for emancipated minor, as set forth in Article 6 of Title 15, Chapter 11 of the Georgia Code, O.C.G.A. §§ ▇▇-▇▇-▇▇▇ et seq.
2. Individuals in the target population with developmental disabilities and/or serious and persistent mental illness shall not be transferred from one institutional setting to another or from a State Hospital to a skilled nursing facility, intermediate care facility, or assisted living facility unless consistent with the individual’s informed choice or is warranted by the individual’s medical condition. Provided, however, if the State is in the process of closing all units of a certain clinical service category at a State Hospital, the State may transfer an individual from one institutional setting to another if appropriate to that individual’s needs. Further provided that the State may transfer individuals in State Hospitals with developmental disabilities who are on forensic status to another State Hospital if appropriate to that individual’s needs. The State may not transfer an individual from one institutional setting to another more than once.
