How does the residential algorithm use your assessed support needs scores to determine your residential service level of support?

(1) The residential algorithm uses your assessed support needs scores (as defined in WAC 388-828-9550 through 388-828-9690) to answer questions in a decision tree.
(2) The decision tree path determines your residential service level of support (WAC 388-828-9540).
(3) The decision tree is separated into the following three steps:
(a) Step 1 determines whether your residential support needs scores meet the criteria for less than daily support or the criteria for community protection.
(b) Step 2 determines whether your residential support needs scores meet the criteria for continuous day and night support.
(c) Step 3 determines whether your residential support needs scores meet the criteria for intermittent support.
