When the patients first come in Mrs. Burrell have do an assessment with them.

She then verifies address, ask what kind of home they stay in, who they stay with, if they have any caregivers, if so what time are they there with them, if they had a home health agency prior to their arrival, if so the agency name, if they had any equipment at home, if so what kind, if they have a ramp on their home, what kind of work they did,

She then gives them information on when their staff meeting is, who will be there, what time, and that after the meeting the staff would then come to them to give them the plan. Mrs. Burrell also let the patient know that she recommends that the patient spouse, or primary care person be there because it’s important that they know what is going on.
