CARES Tool
NH Assisted Living Facilities, including Residential Care Facilities (He-P 804) and Supported Residential Care Facilities (He-P 805) must assess all potential residents using the Care Assessment for Residential Services prior to admission to their facility. Known as a CARES Tool, this assessment is required to be done no more than 30 days prior to admission to the facility and every six months thereafter OR when the resident experiences a significant change.
All individuals using the CARES Tool must attend a training session hosted by the NHHCA or NH ARCH (Association of Residential Care Homes).
Training sessions are held on the third Tuesday of each month.
