Client Right #6 states: "A right to social interaction and participation in community activities."
SIR stands for Special Incident Report. As a long-term care facility we need to report certain incidents to San Diego Regional Center (SDRC) by filling out the SIR form and submitting it within 48 hours of the occurrence. An example of a special incident that needs to be reported to SDRC would be a serious injury/accident such as a fracture or laceration requiring sutures or staples. When we make a report to SDRC, we must also submit an Unusual Incident Report (UII) to Community Care Licensing (CCL). Please refer to the Dropbox training folder for additional reading on SIR Training.
