(a) Preparation of an assisted living plan in accordance with AS 47.33.220, 47.33.230, and this chapter shall include a review of any other existing plan of care that may already be in place for the resident. A plan of care already in place for a resident may substitute for the assisted living plan required by AS 47.33.220 and 47.33.230 if the existing plan incorporates substantially the same provisions and addresses the same requirements as would an assisted living plan.

(b) When an existing plan of care cannot be substituted for an assisted living plan, the assisted living plan required by AS 47.33.220 and 47.33.230 must, insofar as possible, incorporate the provisions of the plan of care already in place for the resident.

(c) Evaluation of assisted living plans for residents will take into account the timelines established for evaluation of existing plans of care, and will, insofar as possible, set similar evaluation timelines to avoid duplicative evaluation efforts.

(d) Copies of existing plans of care for a resident shall be placed in the assisted living file, along with the assisted living plan
