A case manager in home healthcare would perform an initial home assessment visit to understand the client's needs, evaluate the safety of the home to ensure it is conducive to healing and safe for the client, evaluate the competency of available caregivers to ensure they can provide the necessary care, and determine the client's eligibility for services to ensure they receive the appropriate support and resources.
