Hi, I have a resident that wants to sell items he makes within the center in order to make money. I can see pros/cons to this. I was wondering if anyone has experienced this before. Is this a resident rights issue? Is there a cap on how much they can make? I am worried about setting a precedent of residents selling in the nursing home. It is his activity of choice though. Scratching my head on this one. Would love feedback. K

So, in the guidance to surveyors 43 CFR 483.20 9(k)(1), F249 Comprehension Care Plan it states: "Determine if the facility developed specific and individualized activities goals and approaches as part of the comprehensive care plan, unless the resident is independent in providing for her/his activities without facility intervention." Does this mean that we don't need a care plan for those residents. How do we define facility intervention?
