Iowa Admin. Code r. 481-58.52 - Incompetent resident
(1)
Each facility shall provide that all rights and responsibilities of the
resident devolve to the resident's responsible party when a resident is
adjudicated incompetent in accordance with state law or, in the case of a
resident who has not been adjudicated incompetent under the laws of the state,
in accordance with
42 CFR 483.10.
This subrule is not intended to limit the authority of any individual acting
pursuant to Iowa Code chapter 144A. (II)
(2) The fact that a resident has been
adjudicated incompetent does not absolve the facility from advising the
resident of these rights to the extent the resident is able to understand them.
The facility shall also advise the responsible party, if any, and acquire a
statement indicating an understanding of residents' rights. (II)
