- Respond to acute care hospital referrals for urgent follow-up for at-risk housebound patients post-discharge
- Screen and triage patients referred for priority care
- Offer clinical assessments, to include examining patients and reviewing relevant patient medical records and treating patients with the intent of keeping patients home, if possible, with implementation of support services when required
- Diagnose and form treatment plans for acutely ill patients whom would otherwise be admitted to the acute care setting
- And more

- Initiate Home Support Services
