Re: Mix 30/30d w/a Qtr?

You can't combine a 30 and 60 day assessment but you can combine either a 30 or a 60 with a quarterly.  Depends on how you interpret the original question how you answer this one.

I have several residents that are completing their 100d, but will remain long term. Over last 3yrs haven't had this scenerio,  I realize that I can mix a 90 day and qtr together, but can you do the same with a 30 and 60 day?
