The plan of care is usually made for 3 months or 12 visits (10 if Medicare). As a patient demonstrates ability to maintain progress toward goals, taper sessions. For example, decrease from 1x/week to 1x/every other week.
Discharge occurs when the patient demonstrates the ability to maintain progress consistently and has met most goals. By discharge, the goal is for the patient to become their own therapist. Help ensure maintenance of progress by reviewing action plans and creating a home maintenance program based on successful action plans and cognitive strategies.
