This facility will conduct an internal review of appropriateness of placement for individuals with a diagnosis of MR, DD or MI.Approval of a Level II for these individuals will not be the only qualifier for admit. The facility may require a medical guardianship or at a minimum, a durable POA as terms for admission. The primary purpose and scope of the facility's programming is not designed to serve or meet the special needs of individuals with MR / DD requiring a custodial / immediate level of care.
