Doing two telehealth days, I have the MA run a Mini-Cog and STEADI 3-question screen before I join; if the space’s safe I’ll watch a quick TUG on video and drop a smart-phrase to document tight 15‑min visits. I auto-book in-person within a week if TUG >12s or they live alone, and this CDC guide keeps it consistent: STEADI - Older Adult Fall Prevention | STEADI - Older Adult Fall Prevention | CDC, @JNelsonPA.
