the right to refuse treatment under §19.403(i) of this chapter
(relating to Notice of Rights and Services);

facility PASRR support activities the nursing facility will provide
as a result of PASRR recommendations, in accordance with Subchapter

(4) in consultation with the resident and resident
representative:
(A) the resident's goals for admission and desired
outcomes;
(B) the resident's preference and potential for future
discharge, whether the resident's desire to return to the community
was assessed, and any referrals to local contact agencies or other
appropriate entities; and

is determined not practicable for the development of the resident's
comprehensive care plan.

supports, and services that, when provided or facilitated by the facility,
will enable the resident to live with a family; or

supports, and services that, when provided or facilitated by the
facility, will result in the resident having a consistent and nurturing
environment in the least restrictive setting, as defined by the resident
and LAR as defined in §19.805(a)(5) of this subchapter.
(f) A comprehensive care plan may include a palliative
plan of care. This plan may be developed only at the request of the
resident, surrogate decision maker or legal representative for residents
with terminal conditions, end stage diseases or other conditions for
which curative medical interventions are not appropriate. The plan
of care must have goals that focus on maintaining a safe, comfortable
and supportive environment in providing care to a resident at the
end of life.
