Sec. 4-311.
(a) A person with a developmental disability may be temporarily
admitted to a facility for respite care intended for the benefit of the parent
or guardian, or in the event of a crisis, care where immediate temporary
residential services are necessary, upon application by a person empowered to
make application for administrative admission, if the facility director
determines that the individual is suitable for temporary admission. The
application shall describe the person's developmental disability and shall
conform with the provisions of paragraph (a) of Section 4-301.
(b) A temporary admission may continue for not more than 30 days. A client
admitted on a temporary basis shall be provided with such services as are
determined by mutual agreement between the facility director, the client,
and the person executing the application.
(c) Upon temporary admission, a clear written statement and oral explanation
of the objection procedure shall be given to the client if he is 12 years
of age or older. Within 3 days of a temporary admission, notice of the
admission and an explanation of the objection procedure shall be sent to
the persons specified in Section 4-206. An objection to temporary admission
may be made and heard in the same manner as an objection to administrative
admission.
