In short
- Every new participant has a start-of-services visit on or before the first day of service.
- At the visit we give and explain the rights statement, confidentiality statement, code of ethics, how to complain and the other papers on the checklist.
- The participant signs the start of services checklist. Never delay services because someone will not sign.
- Before your first visit, read the participant's care plan and task sheet, and keep them confidential.
- Always wear your Agency identification badge so the participant can see it.
