How soon must a comprehensive assessment be completed after a resident's admission?

A comprehensive assessment must be completed within 14 days after a resident's admission to an assisted living facility. This timeframe is crucial because it allows staff to gather necessary information about the resident's health, needs, and preferences, ensuring that the facility can provide personalized care and support from the outset. Conducting the assessment within this period helps in identifying immediate care requirements, creating an effective care plan, and ensuring that any special needs are met as soon as possible. This prompt evaluation is key to enhancing the resident's overall quality of life and optimizing their care experience in the residential environment.
