13.6. The operator of a private seniors’ residence may, with written consent from a resident or, where applicable, the resident’s representative, proceed with or request the identification of the resident’s loss of autonomy or an assessment of the resident’s autonomy. The identification or assessment must be conducted in accordance with section 13.1. The third paragraph of that section applies, with the necessary modifications.

Following the identification or assessment, the resident’s new needs must be communicated to the residence staff members providing personal assistance services or nursing care. The results of the identification or assessment must be recorded in the resident’s file kept pursuant to section 57.

The resident’s lease must be amended only if the resident decides to select extra services offered by the operator. In no case may the operator bill such services following an identification or assessment without consent from the resident or, where applicable, the resident’s representative.

For the purposes of the first paragraph, written consent must be obtained specifically for each identification and each assessment.
