1. The senior presents at the ADRC for an assessment. The FES (Functional Eligiblity Screen) shows needs related to loss of physical function or cognative deficit.

2. CMO's (Care Management Organizations) may require some AFH's (Adult Family Homes) to pay their own respite. An Adult Family Home where father and mother care for a family member. The father and mother plan to attend a bowling tournament in another State and requirecare for their family member who will remain home.

3. The local CMO (Care Management Organization) seeks to contract with a local senior care provider to perform custodial care visits for CMO members. Care Wisconsin (Care Management Organization) needs to contract with a senior care provider to serve a noon meal and make supper for a member.

4. The family requests a provider to supplement the services currently being delivered with a Federal or State funded program. So a senior receives some personal care with MA (medicaid) as the pay source. The family would like the senior to be pushed in his wheel chair up to the park for summer concerts.
