2017-07-11 06:50:32 PM cynkarnes76 Currently our Healthcare does not offer trips other than Country Rides (2x) a week. It's possible it is due to extra opportunities for activities in the AL and IL communities, except my AD does not like to promote them unless he has extra volunteers set up ahead of time
2017-07-11 06:50:45 PM schiffal you'll still need an assessment, though...initial and quarterly, to help care plan

2017-07-11 06:54:17 PM schiffal One more note about PELI - leave your plan very open and don't lock yourself into a care plan that you can't achieve.

2017-07-11 06:54:29 PM kathyhughes Anything else or questions that I have missed
