• Connect people with the right service providers and help them make informed choices
• Check in regularly - by phone monthly, and face-to-face quarterly (plus at least one home visit each year)

• Keep accurate, timely notes and documentation in the state's LTSS system
• Watch for and immediately report any signs of abuse, neglect, or exploitation
