A filled-in Form LIC 601 example: a resident moves out of a care home

Form LIC 601 example filled out, example: a resident moves out of a care home
A care home manager completes the form for a departing resident. The resident, aged 82, was admitted on May 4, 2026 and left on June 30, 2026. The picture shows page 1 only, and none of its entries is real. The daughter is both the responsible person and the nearest relative, and the only person responsible for financial affairs. Other persons to be notified in emergency lists a physician, a dentist and a relative, so the mental health provider and friend rows stay empty because the resident has none. Section B, residential facilities for children, is left blank because the resident is not a child.
