(2) When a condition under OAR 411-004-0020 (Home and Community-Based Services and Settings)(2)(d) to (2)(j) may not be met due to a threat to the health and safety of an individual or others, in a provider owned, controlled, or operated residential setting, an individually-based limitation process, as described in this rule, must apply.
(3) An individually-based limitation must be supported by a specific assessed need and documented in the person-centered service plan by completing and signing a program approved form documenting the consent to the appropriate individually-based limitation. The form identifies and documents, at a minimum, all of the following requirements:
(a) The specific and individualized assessed need justifying the individually-based limitation.
(b) The positive interventions and supports used prior to any individually-based limitation.
(c) Less intrusive methods that have been tried but did not work.
