Here's the policy:
Health and Safety Code Section 1569.73 requires facilities to obtain a Hospice Care
Waiver from the California Department of Social Services if they wish to retain clients
receiving hospice care services. Residents receiving hospice care services may
eventually require “total care,” which is a prohibited health condition as outlined in
California Code of Regulation (CCR), Title 22, Section 87615(a)(5).
Total care isdefined as a condition where residents depend on others to perform all of their activities of daily living, see (CCR) Title 22, Section 87459 Functional Capabilities.
A licensee must request a total care exception to allow a resident to be retained in the
Residential Care Facility for the Elderly (RCFE) if the resident’s condition requires total
care. The requirements for requesting this total care exception are found in California
Code of Regulation (CCR), Title 22, Section 87616.

Total care is identified as a condition where citizens rely on others to execute all of their actions of day-to-day life, see (CCR).
