Care Facility Admission 

Admission to a long-term care or assisted living facility may require substitute decision-making if the individual is unable to give informed consent. 

• This decision may be made by a legal representative, committee, or TSDM 

• A care facility must assess the individual’s capacity to understand the decision and consult the appropriate substitute decision-maker if needed 

• CLBC, the individual’s family, and legal representatives must all be involved in planning for admission 

Home sharing providers may be asked to contribute input for assessments or transition planning, but do not have authority to approve or sign admission documents unless legally appointed.
