(1) Before the administrative admission of any individual, the individual may be received by the facility designated and approved by the community mental health services program for up to 10 days in order for a preadmission examination to be conducted. No individual may be administratively admitted unless the individual was referred by the community mental health services program and was given a preadmission examination by the facility for the purpose of determining the individual's suitability for admission.
(2) The preadmission examination shall include mental, physical, social, and educational evaluations, and shall be conducted under the supervision of a registered nurse or other mental health professional possessing at least a master's degree. The results of the examination shall be contained in a report to be made part of the individual's record, and the report shall also contain a statement indicating the most appropriate living arrangement that is necessary to meet the individual's treatment needs.
(3) At least once annually each administratively admitted resident shall be reexamined for the purpose of determining whether he or she continues to be suitable for admission.
