(a) In addition to Chapter 3, the licensee of an Adult Day Program is governed by the provisions of this subchapter when a licensee utilizes or reasonably foresees that they will utilize a manual restraint or seclusion.

(1) If an Adult Day Program does not accept or have clients that may require the use of manual restraint or seclusion for emergency interventions, then the Adult Day Program is exempt from this subchapter.

(2) Notwithstanding Section 82100(a)(1), all Adult Day Programs shall comply with Subchapter 1, Article 2, Section 82102.

(b) When a client's behavior presents an imminent danger of serious injury to self or others, the licensee shall use intervention techniques starting with the least restrictive intervention. More restrictive interventions may be used only when less restrictive interventions are determined to be ineffective.

(c) Adult Day Programs staff may use manual restraint or seclusion on a client only if:

(1) The force used does not exceed that which is necessary to avert the danger being threatened;

(2) The risk of injury caused by the force applied does not exceed the risk of injury being averted;

(3) A client's behavior presents an imminent danger of serious injury to self or others;

(d) The duration of a manual restraint or seclusion ceases as soon as the risk of imminent danger of serious injury to self or others from the client's behavior has ceased; and

(e) The manual restraint or seclusion is not otherwise prohibited by statute or regulation.
