Therapy potential

[TigerxLiLy]

What tools do you guys use to make sure therapy has met all the pts goals to return home? Is it reasonable to expect them to reach standard goals "toileting,showering,upper/lower body dressing, balance, endurance, strengthening, ROM,w/c mobility, ambulation,transfers, bed mobility" or do we focus on goals that the family/pt say they need to get to to return home. Your LTC pts?

Reason why i ask: we have "discharge pathways" that our therapist use to make goals for medicare pts-- when therapy says they have met their goals- we are suppose to go over the pathways to make sure theres nothing else they can work on.

Problem: During review of the pathways at the end with DOR - I'm told "X,Y,Z" goals have been met-- but when i reviewed the chart they were not even addressed! So i have to go back and point it out.
