Abstract: VA is authorized under 38 U.S.C. 1730 to assist veterans by referring them for placement, and aiding veterans in obtaining placement, in Community Residential Care facilities (CRC). VA has published regulations related to CRC approval at 38 CFR 17.61 – 17.74. Under that authority, VA maintains a list of approved CRCs, and conducts periodic inspection of those facilities to ensure that the facility is maintained per standards published at 38 CFR 17.63. One of the standards a CRC must meet is the requirement that the CRC must maintain records on each resident in a secure place. Facility records must include emergency notification procedures and a copy of all signed agreements with the resident. 38 CFR 17.63(i). These records must be maintained by the CRC, and the CRC must make those records available for VA inspection upon request. In addition, the CRC must maintain and make available, upon request of the approving official, records related to CRC staff requirements and provide that the CRC has sufficient, qualified staff on duty and available to care for the resident and ensure the health and safety of each resident.
