Client Assessments CHS’s licensed professional
geriatric care managers will visit privately with elder
patients at their homes, to evaluate individual needs.
Family members are invited to attend the two-hour meetings.
As part of a routine assessment, our staff members
will:
• Obtain a complete history
• Determine a client’s level of cognitive functioning
• Conduct a depression screening
• Survey the home environment for safety features
• Assess diet and nutritional needs
• Appraise opportunities for socialization
• Obtain a list of current medications
With that information, we’ll create a detailed,
written care plan designed especially for each elder client.
