15 A look at what happens to the client from request for services to service The first step: Intake authorization: A referral is received from the community, Senior I & A, or a hospital by phone, fax, mail or in person The referral information is then input into the CARE (Comprehensive Assessment Reporting Evaluation Tool) system The referral is assigned to a Social Services worker as appropriate (in-home, residential, hospital or nursing home)
16 The second step: Information Gathering: The assigned worker conducts the CARE assessment CARE stands for Comprehensive Assessment Reporting Evaluation The CARE assessment is a computerized assessment tool used to determine a client s functional eligibility for services using the following gathered information: ü Medical information such as diagnosis, medication, treatments, medication management, pain, skin issues, foot care. ü Personal care, that is activities of daily living such as mobility, bathing, eating, toileting, dressing, transferring ü Cognitive status such as memory, decision making, comprehension, behaviors.
17 Financial eligibility is being determined concurrently with Functional Eligibility. Services cannot be set up until Eligibility has been determined for both. Some Programs allow Fast Track setting up services prior to financial determination (MPC / COPES)
