The next step is the evaluation of the resources that the recipient has or needs to have in the environment he has chosen. The same process is used to identify the explicit and implicit resources. Implicit resources are those that are personally important to the recipient. These can be people, places, activities or things. People can include a friend, a Compeer, a case manager.
Places can be a senior center or a church.
Favorite activities might be playing bingo or going to a library. A thing can be pharmacy that will deliver. After the final list of resources has been compiled, there must be an evaluation of resource use. As in the skills phase described earlier, any problem areas must be resolved before the recipient can move into the chosen environment.
