The CM makes an initial home assessment visit, and evaluates the safety of the home and competency of available caregivers. Often, the CM determines the client's eligibility for services. Sometimes in conjunction with the team the client's nursing or therapy care needs are determined. The CM and the team then determine what services are necessary and available for that client. The team assists the family to obtain needed equipment and makes suggestions about the setup of the home for optimal client care. Other members of the healthcare team would set up and dispense medications and care for pressure ulcers.
