Section IX-511 - DHH Policy on Admission to State Residential FacilitiesA. Effective February 20, 1998, an individual whose eligibility for participation in the MR/DD Services System has been established and whose generic service plan indicates a need for a residential living option may be voluntarily admitted to a public residential facility at which there is an available funded bed. The public facility must determine that the individual's needs, as specified in the generic service plan, can be met. The individual is formally admitted when the public facility accepts the individual as a recipient. In the process of selecting a generic living option, the team, which includes the individual and/or family, is required to consider what meets the individual's needs, and no more, and the most natural living option available, consistent with an individual's community peers. Involuntary admission is governed by R.S. 28:404.La. Admin. Code tit. 48, § IX-511
