– REPORT that IEHP sends over the referrals and then:
1. They do an assessment w/ a social worker. One and a half hour long.
2. You see a nurse, virtually.
3. Assessment w/ a physical therapist. Look for “transfer” issues. Some meet 3 times a week over ZOOM w/ their therapist.
4. Schedule w/ activities director. i.e. Zumba classes, rubber band exercises.
5. Evaluation of folks who live alone. Make certain these folks have socialization, even via ZOOM.
6. Evaluation w/ a speech therapist.
