- upon the Client’s commencement of Home and Community Care, or upon admission to a Type A Continuing Care Home or Type B Continuing Care Home;
- when the Client transfers between different publicly funded Operators;
- when the Client transfers between different levels of care within the same Operator; and
- following any Interdisciplinary Team conference.
