When can the Community Support Team recommend termination?

The Community Support Team can recommend termination when the medical needs of the individual cannot be adequately met by the program. This is crucial because CILA programs are designed to support individuals with specific needs and ensure they receive appropriate care. If the program is unable to provide the necessary medical support, it may be in the best interests of the individual to transition to a different setting that can better address those needs. This ensures that individuals are receiving the right level of care, which is fundamental to their health and well-being.

The other options do not align with the circumstances under which a termination recommendation is appropriate. While an individual's request for termination may be considered, it does not automatically lead to a recommendation if their needs can still be met. Additionally, prolonged absence may indicate other issues but is not a definitive reason for termination if the individual's needs remain unaddressed in other ways. Lastly, the determination by the agency that services are unnecessary must be based on an assessment of the individual's needs and not arbitrary decision-making, emphasizing that the program's capability to meet those needs is what truly guides the recommendation for termination.
