(a) The facility must have written policies to govern the nursing care and related medical or other services provided. The written policies must include plans for promoting self-care and independence. If children are admitted to the facility, written policies must address the care of children, consistent with currently acceptable pediatric practice and should address the ongoing assessment of the potential for community reintegration.     
      (b) Resident care policies are developed by the medical director and by professional personnel, including one or more physicians, licensed or registered nurses, a registered pharmacist, and the licensed nursing home administrator. The advisory group must review the policies at least annually and update  them as necessary.
