Rapid Patient Assessment Services
Patient assessments are required before move-in to any adult family home. We provide fast, professional assessments that homes trust — helping speed up the placement process for urgent cases.
Why Assessments Matter
Under WAC 388-76-10330, all adult family home residents must have a comprehensive assessment completed before or within a specific timeframe of admission. Adult family homes rely on these assessments to:
- Evaluate care needs — Understanding the full scope of medical, behavioral, and personal care requirements
- Determine if they can accept the patient — Homes need to confirm they have the staff, equipment, and expertise
- Create negotiated care plans — Assessments form the foundation for individualized care planning
- Meet regulatory requirements — Washington State requires documented assessments for licensing compliance
The challenge? Getting an assessment done quickly can be a bottleneck — especially for hospital discharges under time pressure. That's where we come in.
