Summary
I would contact the clients, by telephone or a home visit which was required four times a year per client. I had 450 clients. I would fill out the appropriate paperwork to keep them enrolled in the program, asking the qualifying questions about what they could still do for themselves. I would encode all information into the data program called GetCare.
