How we do it: Preliminary Evaluation
Here we sit down with all concerned to clarify the most pressing issues with regard to independent living and to help identify critical problems that may be anticipated or have already arisen. The goal is to determine whether independent living at home is a feasible prospect and, if so, what that would entail in terms of case management, caregiving hours, and cost.
We lay out the basic elements of case management and our philosophy as case managers. If we do not consider independent living at home to be a reasonable option, we will describe the other options and explain what it will take to get started on those paths. This evaluation is free.
