Is a physician report verifying good health required for all personnel before employment?

In the context of Residential Care Facilities for the Elderly (RCFE), the requirement for a physician report verifying good health is not mandatory for all personnel before employment. While it's critical that staff working with vulnerable populations, such as the elderly, meet certain health standards, the regulations specifically outline that a physician's report may apply to specific roles, particularly those that involve direct care.

Typically, the requirement focusing on good health verification is more stringent for direct care staff, like nursing officers or caregivers, who are in closer contact with residents and are responsible for their daily care and well-being. Other personnel, such as administrative or maintenance staff, are generally not subject to such health verification unless they directly interact with residents regularly.

Therefore, the idea that a physician report is required for all personnel before employment does not reflect the commonly implemented policies in most RCFE settings, making the assertion that it is false accurate.
