Helping problem-solve the person’s concerns related to daily living, providing assurance to the person, observing and redirecting to address the person’s cognitive orientation or other behavioral concerns, and providing check-ins to identify problems and resolve concerns.
Adaptive support service
This includes providing verbal, visual, and/or touch guidance to help the person complete a task, setting up and demonstrating cues or reminder tools (e.g., calendars, lists), helping the person understand assistive technology directions or instructions to maintain independence, and practicing strategies and similar support methods that promote continued self-sufficiency
