Group Home Admin Clients/Residents Practice Exam

Which signature is NOT required on the admission agreement?

1. Client or responsible party signature

2. Licensee or administrator signature

3. Licensing agency representative signature

4. Social worker signature

The correct answer is: Licensing agency representative signature

The admission agreement for a group home typically requires signatures from the client or a responsible party, as well as the licensee or administrator. These signatures indicate that both the resident (or their representative) and the home management agree on the terms of admission and care. The signature of a licensing agency representative is not typically required on an admission agreement because the agency's role is usually to ensure that the group home is complying with regulations and standards, rather than being directly involved in individual admissions. Their involvement is more about oversight than direct agreement on every client's admission, which makes the client or responsible party and the home’s management signatures the primary focus of the admissions process. In contrast, the social worker's signature might be relevant in certain contexts, especially if they are involved in the client’s placement, but it is not a standard requirement for the admission agreements themselves. The emphasis is on the direct parties to the agreement, making the licensing agency representative's signature not necessary.
