Short-term Transfer definition
Short-term Transfer means the time-limited movement of a resident to a bed outside of the group home, whether for acute care or to receive other needed services that are beyond the capability of the group home, but without the initial intent of designating the bed as unoccupied and available for assignment to another person. A short-term transfer is generally appropriate when the resident is anticipated to be able to return to the group home within a 30-day period. A short-term transfer may be reviewed at any time to assess the prognosis for the resident’s return to the group home and the appropriateness of a decision to notify the resident of the intent to discharge.
