I am wondering if memory care falls into " in-patient stabilization units for psychiatric". That decide we are condition 1 or condition 2. Any thoughts?

Thanks in advance!

Condition 1 would be my choice


Now more info needed

Are they in total lock down?

Or maybe delayed egress device??!

As in they can get out an exit ????

Are they in total lock down?

Or maybe delayed egress device?? Or similar?

As in they can get out an exit without much delay??
 
Are they going to be on lock down and not free to exit at will.


OR

Can they exit anytime they want, but maybe with delayed egress device or similar
 
Think about the listed conditions... in-patient stabilization, emergency care, etc. These would indicate a greater likelihood of people being unable to respond independently.
 
Our state health department has 5 levels of description for memory care patients, Levels 1 & 2 would be similar to dealing with younger children, physically fit, able to follow instructions and would be similar to an I-1 custodial care occupancy. 3 through 5 are definitely an I-2 occupants
 
But you do have assisted living facilities,,

With memory units,,

Where the patients are able to have free exiting. As in no lack down
