APS has sixty days to complete their assessment, and then we are required, our staff is required to conduct monthly visits and contacts with the individual.

We review monthly reports to assure that the staff is in compliance with the requirement.

Sometimes as as it was mentioned by chief Rojas, there is no need for the sixty days to conduct our assessment and we will complete our assessment in a lesser time.
