The Assessment is a non-invasive, information-gathering short meeting with the person requiring a long term, key medical professionals and family members (where applicable). The Assessment is an essential information-gathering tool that enables us to narrow down and target the long-term care need. It takes into consideration: • Potential Cognitive / Dementia Issues - Short and long term memory issues etc. • Behavioral Issues - Aggressive, combative, etc. • Physical Issues / Limitations - Ambulation, incontinence, paralysis, etc. • Personality and Preferences - Community, care home or in-home care • Financial information – Private Pay or ALTCS (Medicaid) - If private pay; cost expectations per month • Area of Town Preferred • Any Other Pertinent Information Although an in-person assessment is always the preference, a information gathering phone assessment may suffice in long distance situations | ||
