Southcoast is partnering with CCA to provide assessments in the homes of their members. The assessments will assist in determining what services they need to remain in the home. The OTs primary role is to complete an OT evaluation and functional assessment to determine how much personal care the patient requires. These are not homecare patients. The assessment is only needed when they start services with CCA and if the member has a decline in ADLs performance.
