Tip:
Coding Set-up help means that a family member, caregiver, or someone else, gives the person an item to enable the person to complete the task independently. Here are some examples:
- If a caregiver or family member puts a person’s walker within reach every time they want to walk, this is classified as set-up help.
If the person was given a frame, raised toilet seat or grab rail one month ago, but they have used the item(s) alone, they are independent. This is not classified as set-up help.
