We admit respite residents and they are treated like a regular admission. We include them on the 802 while they are here and we do an admission care plan for them on admit. We are in a case mix state so we do an admission MDS on them even if they are here for less than 14 days (per our administrators request to try to avoid defaults in the case mix rate). We have one gentleman who comes every year for a week or two while his wife visits family out of state. He is well known to the staff and we re-activate his care plan and update it while he is here. We all look forward to Bud coming for his "Club Med" visit every summer. We also have Hospice respite admissions and we treat them the same.
