Minnesota Administrative Rules
2960.0090 DISCHARGE AND AFTERCARE.
Subpart 1.
Exemption.
Transitional services programs certified under part 2960.0500 are exempt from the requirements of subpart 3.
Subp. 2.
No eject policy.
A license holder must have a written no eject policy. Before discharging a resident who has not reached the resident's case plan goals, or treatment plan goals for a resident who has a treatment plan, the license holder must confer with other interested persons to review the issues involved in the decision. During this review process, which must not exceed five working days, the license holder must determine whether the license holder, treatment team, interested persons, if any, and the resident can develop additional strategies to resolve the issues leading to the discharge and to permit the resident an opportunity to continue to receive services from the license holder. If the review indicates that the decision to discharge is warranted, the reasons for it and the alternatives considered or attempted must be documented. A resident may be temporarily removed from the facility during the five-day review period. This subpart does not apply to a resident removed by the placing authority or a parent or guardian.
Subp. 3.
Return of resident's property.
The license holder must return all of the resident's personal property to the resident along with a signed receipt upon discharge, unless prohibited to do so by law or case plan. Discrepancies between the resident's inventoried property turned over to the facility at admission and the property returned to the resident at discharge, and the resolution of the discrepancy, must be documented by facility staff.
