Services and activities will be
determined based upon a written assessment made by a
qualified assessor, most often, a case manager and obtained
prior to the Resident’s admission to Connecting Links. The
assessment will address specific information regarding the
applicant including recent medical history, care needs and
preferences, current prescribed medications, medical
diagnosis, significant known behaviors or symptoms, history
of depression, anxiety, and mental illness if applicable,
social, physical and emotional strengths and needs,

for services and an initial plan as to how to meet the needs
identified in the assessment.

about how the Resident’s needs and preferences will be
addressed will be completed within thirty days of admission.
