It is the policy to admit and to treat all residents without regard to race, color, sex, national origin, handicap or age in compliance with the 45 CFR Parts 80, 84 and 91 respectively. The same requirements for admission are applied to all patients whose needs are reasonable for the facility to meet, and residents are assigned within this care center without regard to race, color, sex, national origin, handicap or age. Each resident must be admitted to the facility on the recommendation of a licensed physician. It is the policy of the facility not to retain a resident who required services beyond those for which the facility is licensed or has the functional ability to provide. This determination is made by the facility admissions committee. There is no distinction in the eligibility for, or in the manner of providing any resident service provided by the care center or by others in or outside of the care center. The services of this care center are available without distinction to all residents and visitors regardless of race, color, sex, national origin, handicap or age. All persons and organizations having occasion either to refer residents for admission or to recommend to the care center are advised to do so without regard to the resident’s race, color, sex, national origin, handicap or age.
