A. In order to be considered a crisis, one of the following circumstances must exist:
1. death of the caregiver with no
other supports (i.e., other family) available; or
2. the caregiver is incapacitated with no
other supports (i.e., other family) available; or
3. the participant is committed to the
custody of LDH by the court; or
4.
other family crisis with no caregiver support available, such as abuse/neglect,
or a second person in the household becomes disabled and must be cared for by
same caregiver, causing inability of the natural caregiver to continue
necessary supports to assure health and safety; or
5. the participant's condition deteriorates
to the point when the plan of care is inadequate.
B. Exhausting available funds through the use of therapies, environmental accessibility adaptations, and specialized medical equipment and supplies does not qualify as justification for crisis designation.
