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.
