(a) All applicants for admission to the Veterans Home shall submit to a
pre-admission evaluation.

(b) The Veterans Home shall require an updated Medical Certificate or
transfer summary as defined in Section 70753, Title 22, CCR, Licensing and
Certification, to be submitted by the applicant's current physician at
least one (1) week prior to the scheduled appointment for possible
admission when an applicant has been on a waiting list longer than six (6)
months.

(c) The Veterans Home schedules pre-admission evaluations during the
regular work week, Monday through Friday. The Veterans Home shall send
notification of when to report for this evaluation no less than two weeks
prior to the scheduled appointment for admission.

(d) The Veterans Home shall require applicants to notify the Veterans Home
immediately in writing or by telephone as to whether or not their
appointment for the pre-admission evaluation shall be kept. If the
appointment is not kept and the Veterans Home is not notified, then the
Veterans Home shall remove the applicant's name from the waiting list and
place the applicant's file in the application inactive file. To be
reconsidered the applicant shall contact the Home by writing a letter
requesting to reschedule the pre-admission evaluation. The Veterans Home
shall schedule the evaluation notifying the applicant in writing of the
date and time. If waiting lists are still in effect at the time the
veteran's letter is received, then the Veterans Home shall again place the
applicant's name on the waiting list.

(e) If an applicant is scheduled for admission for one level of care, and
during the pre-admission evaluation it is determined that there has been
change in level of care needs, then the Veterans Home shall admit the
applicant to the level of care most suited to those needs.

(f) The Veterans Home shall not conduct a pre-admission evaluation on
applicants who appear at the Veterans Home for the evaluation and are
deemed under the influence of alcohol or non-prescription drugs. These
applicants shall be rescheduled for a pre-admission evaluation at a future
date.
