The Community Living Center Resident Assessment Instrument (CLC-RAI) is a standardized assessment and treatment planning process designed to identify the functional and health care needs of the Veteran and to help develop a plan of care where services are individualized to meet the needs of each resident. VA CLCs offer a dynamic array of short-stay and long-stay non-acute services for Veterans who are medically and psychiatrically stable. The application assists CLC staff in gathering definitive information on a resident’s strengths and needs, which must be addressed in an individualized care plan. It also assists staff with evaluating patient goal achievement and revising care plans accordingly by enabling the CLC to track changes in the resident’s status. As the process of problem identification is integrated with sound clinical interventions, the care plan becomes each resident’s unique path toward achieving or maintaining his or her highest practical level of well-being.
