1. Locate an appropriate living arrangement;

2. Discuss the arrangement with the client or representative and ensure that the arrangement is appropriate, feasible, and acceptable to the client or representative;

3. Arrange pre-placement visits, when appropriate; and

4. Arrange, when appropriate, for the transportation of the client from the facility to the new living arrangement.

The worker shall complete Form DPW-100 when the move has occurred, forward copies to the Central Office Long Term Care Unit, to Aged and Disabled Services, to the client's county of legal settlement, and retain one copy for the county file. If the move is not possible, or if more time is needed, the worker shall request assistance from the Central Office Long Term Care Unit.
