THROUGH A SYSTEMATIC ANALYSIS OF CARE, APPROPRIATE SERVICES ARE RECOMMENDED AND BROKERED THROUGH A VARIETY OF HOME CARE SERVICE PROVIDERS. THIS PROCESS ALLOWS INDIVIDUALS TO MAINTAIN INDEPENDENCE IN THEIR HOMES RATHER THAN RISK INSTITUTIONAL PLACEMENT. HOWEVER, THERE ARE SITUATIONS WHERE RESIDENCY WITHIN A LONG-TERM CARE FACILITY IS IMMINENT.
