Exclusion of Host Home/Companion Care (HH/CC) Provider from the Board of Nursing (BON) Definition of Unlicensed Person
I assert that I have assessed and determined that all four of the following criteria have been met:
- the HH/CC provider meets the definition of Client Responsible Adult (CRA) in Texas Administrative Code (TAC), Title 22, Part 11, Chapter 225, ยง225.4;
- the individual and HH/CC maintain a stable and beneficial relationship;
- the HH/CC provider is willing and able to assume the responsibility and accountability for the individual's health care; and
- the HH/CC provider has adequate and appropriate supports available.
Based on the comprehensive assessment I completed, I have decided to exclude the HH/CC provider from the BON definition of unlicensed person. I have developed a nursing service plan that requires the HH/CC provider to report any changes in conditions or medical treatment to me.
