What is a needs assessment visit?
The needs assessment visit (NAV) is the first step in determining the optimal care plan. Our NAV is thorough and all-inclusive. We will identify the particular needs of the client. We will also examine the client’s living quarters and identify potential risk factors and advise accordingly and recommend measures to improve the safety of the premises. Further, we will discuss finances and share with the client any resources available to help fund the care expense of the loved one. We will also recommend any and all legal resources to help chart the care program moving forward into the future.
Fully understand the particular needs of the care recipient and identify those activities of daily living with which the care recipient needs help.
