The review of progress must be documented on a status review document. The status review document identifies the participant's progress toward goals defined in the plan of service.

13. Termination Procedures.

a. Emergency conditions warranting termination of services include:
i. A change in the participant's condition resulting in an increased level of care beyond the scope of the agency's ability to provide care for the participant.

ii. Significant behavior concerns including physical aggression by the participant that puts the health and safety of the agency's staff or other participants in jeopardy and behavior management techniques have failed to reduce the risk to staff or others.

b. In the instance where the participant is no longer in need of or desires services, the agency must ensure that the procedures include written notice of no less than thirty (30) days for termination, include a transition plan, and a copy of the agency's grievance process. For the purposes of this chapter, a transition plan is an interim plan developed by the agency defining activities to assist the participant to transition out of residential habilitation services from that agency.

c. Services may be terminated prior to thirty (30) days if both parties agree in writing to the termination conditions. The agency may not terminate services when to do so would pose a threat of endangerment to the participant or others. The participant is entitled to appeal the termination utilizing the agency's grievance process regardless of the reason for termination.

d. The agency must notify the participant and their guardian, if applicable, no less than thirty (30) days prior to a change of ownership to ensure informed choice in the services they receive.
