  • Q: What is the procedure if a client is absent?

    Q: My client is interested in receiving therapy, what is the process?

    A: All therapeutic services must be pre-approved and confirmed in a client's ISP with proper prior authorizations and Service Delivery Reports received by Second Home prior to rendering services. In order to obtain such, a collaborative team meeting and/or conversation shall occur in which the therapies are discussed and allocated. Clients must coordinate with their Support Coordinators to determine their budgetary allocation allotments or restrictions. At this time, Second Home provides 30-minute individual sessions for occupational therapy, physical therapy, and speech therapy. Requests received may take a period of time to coordinate and any delays will be communicated at the time of the submitted request.

     

    Q: My client has been hospitalized, is there a re-entry process?

    A: We hope your loved one has a safe and speedy recovery. Yes, all clients who have been hospitalized must submit a note of medical clearance from their physician before returning to the program. If any care levels change as a result of the hospitalization, an ISP re-entry meeting shall be held to discuss the new care expectations.
