This chapter describes legal issues associated with the process of a person transferring from home, hospital or other setting such as an assisted living facility to residential care.  It briefly describes the assessment process; consenting to admission; care plan development; and contracts signed at the time of admission. The admission process is largely shaped by the Ministry of Health’s Home and Community Care Policy, residents’ rights and the common law (contracts and consent).
