6 Pa. Code § 15.44 - Resolution of substantiated reports
(a) When an investigation confirms the
details of a report made under §
15.23 (relating to receiving
reports; general agency responsibility) or determines that the subject of the
report is an older adult in need of protective services, the report shall be
classified as substantiated.
(b)
The agency shall provide for a timely assessment of the need for protective
services by the older adult who is the subject of a substantiated report if the
older adult gives informed consent to an assessment. If an older adult found to
need protective services does not consent to an assessment, the agency may
seek, when appropriate, a court order under §
15.61 (relating to access to
persons).
(c) On the basis of the
assessment, the agency shall provide for the development of a service plan of
recommended actions which reflect the least restrictive alternatives for
removing or reducing imminent risk to person or property and promote
self-determination and continuity of care being provided at the time of the
agency's intervention. The service plan may include, when appropriate, the
pursuit of civil or criminal remedies.
(d) Developed service plans shall be put into
effect under §
15.94 (relating to service
delivery).
