To be eligible, a patient must have an unmet need for hands on assistance with at least 3 of the following activities: dressing, toileting, bathing, eating and moving about in the home.  This is difficult to assess accurately in the clinic, and an aide may not be the most effective or cost effective way to meet the need.  Northern Piedmont Community Care partners with the DOC  by having an occupational therapist assess the patient at home.  If a patient asks for an aide or presents you with a form: ·         Send the form, unsigned, to Carolyn Lawrence, who will notify Northern Piedmont. OR ·         Send an email or inbasket message to carol.siebert@duke.edu with the patient’s name and MRN.
