In the home, there's no hallway monitoring or nursing station to catch a missed cue which means cognition has to be measured deliberately. The BCAT® suite of tools is predictive of both ADL and IADL functioning, giving home care clinicians an objective, portable way to identify not just how a client is thinking, but what they can safely manage on their own. Tools like the Mansbach Hazard Index (MHI) and the Digital Executive Function Test (DEFT™) add targeted risk and executive-function data for the IADLs that matter most in the home including medication management, transportation, and financial management. These issues can be addressed before a crisis forces the issue.

Assessment findings translate directly into a plan of care built around what a client can safely do on their own and where support is needed. The BCAT® Cognitive Exercise Suite gives clinicians a library of evidence-based exercises spanning memory, attention, executive function, visuospatial reasoning, and language that target the specific cognitive skills underlying ADL and IADL performance. Because the exercises scale across difficulty levels, they're beneficial for clients at any cognitive level, supporting engagement whether a client is working to maintain independence or manage more significant decline.

For home care agencies, BCAT® supports aging in place with confidence: fewer avoidable hospitalizations, stronger documentation to support referrals and reimbursement, and a proven, standardized model that differentiates your agency with referral partners and families alike.
