Guidelines for Supporting Adults with a Developmental Disability When Applying To, Moving Into and Residing In a Long-Term Care Home
This guidelines outline the importance of planning, choice and consent and adults with developmental disabilities receiving appropriate developmental services and supports in a long-term care home. The commitment to developing these guidelines and to following them also demonstrates the integrated and co-ordinated approach to care within and between the developmental services and long-term care home sectors.
