Section 388-106-0100. How does the CARE tool measure mood and behaviors?
Latest version.
- (1) When you do not meet the criteria for the clinically complex classification group, or the criteria for exceptional care, or for in-home only have a cognitive performance scale score of five or six, then the mood and behavior criteria listed in subsections (3) and (4) below determines your classification group. If you are eligible for more than one "B" group classification based on the two methodologies, CARE will place you in the highest group for which you qualify.(2) For each behavior that the CARE tool has documented, the department will determine a status as "current" or "past" as defined in WAC 388-106-0010.(3) CARE places you in the mood and behavior classification group only if you have one or more of the behavior/moods that also meets the listed status, frequency, and alterability as identified in the following chart:or(4) CARE places you in the mood and behavior classification group if you have a behavior point score greater than 1, your CPS score (as defined in WAC 388-106-0090) is greater than 2, and your ADL score (as defined in WAC 388-106-0105) is greater than 1.Each current behavior (as shown in the table below) has a value from .5 to 6 depending on the severity and alterability. Each status combination (shown in the table above) has a weight from 0 to 1. Behavior points are determined by multiplying the value of each current behavior (from the list below) by the weight of the status combination (above). Behavior points for past behaviors will be determined by multiplying the easily altered value of the behavior from the table below by the appropriate weight from the table above (0 or .25).The list of behaviors below is divided into categories. Each category has a point limit of how many points can be counted toward the total behavior point score as detailed below. The total behavior point score is determined by totaling the weight-adjusted values for each category below.
