This page from JP Boyd on Family Law—and other pages from this Wikibook that discuss BC family law litigation topics—are under editorial review to provide more thorough, current, and practical guidance. Since 2020, procedures, forms, and laws have changed significantly. While gross inaccuracies have been corrected, some details may still be outdated. These pages were not included in the 2024 print edition, and have been highlighted in orange where they appear in the navigation menu on this website. |
Appendix A: Care Requirements Summary[edit]
In 2009 BC Care Providers Association developed a summary classification of residents for their organization. This table is a modified version of that classification, with more focus on the “typical “ residents. Most residents in care facilities fall into Groups 1, 2 and 3. A small minority may come within Groups 4 or 5, some of whom may be living in specialized units.
Prospective complex care residents may be categorized into five groups[edit]
- GROUP 1
Physically dependent and cognitively intact with medical needs requiring professional nursing for monitoring or medical intervention. Requires a planned care program. Unable to use wheelchair independently. Requires paraprofessional interventions.
- GROUP 2
Clinically complex requiring professional nursing, monitoring and skilled intervention. May be re-ambulation, hospice/ palliative, medical sub acute (high needs).
- GROUP 3
Cognitively impaired, socially appropriate. Unable to communicate needs, requires directional assistance and/ or requires total care with ADLs. Requires a secure environment for safety. May or may not be independently mobile.
