OAR 411-070-0120: Discharge of Residents

When the attending physician indicates that the resident does not, or in the future will not, require long-term care, facility authorities must report this fact to the branch office no later than the first branch office working day following the physician's notification. Upon request, the branch office will assist the resident, facility, relatives, or guardian in developing plans and arrangements for discharge placement. Resident's refusal to be discharged will relieve the Department of responsibility for payment.
