To verify the need for a live-in aide, what can the owner request?

The correct choice is to request verification from a physician or medical provider. This approach is aligned with the principles of respecting privacy and adhering to legal regulations regarding medical information. When a resident requests accommodations for a live-in aide due to a disability, the owner has the right to confirm the need for such assistance.

Requesting verification from a physician or medical provider strikes a balance between obtaining necessary information to assess the situation and safeguarding the resident's confidentiality. This method ensures that individuals are not required to disclose sensitive information, such as confidential medical records or details from a physical exam, which could infringe upon their privacy rights. It allows for a focused and respectful inquiry into the specific need for a live-in aide without overstepping boundaries or asking for more information than what is pertinent to verify the need for assistance.
