However, the contents ofthis handbook should not to be considered as legal standards of care; nor does it replace the licensing, nursing, or business laws.  \nResidents of the community receive individualized services; therefore, despite the information in this handbook, services are tailored to meet the individual needs ofour residents as deemed appropriate.  \nThe community acknowledges that providing individualized services is always fluid and resident specific and not always dependent on any written materials. In support of this resident-specific concept of providing care, the community recognizes that there is more than one approach to many aspects of assistance and healthcare delivery. Our staff use their professional judgment when providing individualized services, as long as it is always in the best interest of the resident, within their professional license, job description, standards of practice, and within the scope of the community’s license under the appropriate state-specific law.  \nState specifications (form or guideline or regulation) will substitute Veritas policy and procedure when the state specification requires a higher standard.
