Comments
Guide for use:
Valid numbers are 1 to 7.
Record whole numbers only for the total number of days per week that the outlet provides any service to clients on. If an outlet provides one instance or more of service to one or more clients on a particular day, it is counted as operating on that day, regardless of the amount of time that it operates. The service must be provided by the outlet but not necessarily from its physical setting. For example home care that is arranged by an outlet to occur on a particular day on which the office of that outlet is not open still counts as a day of operation for that service outlet.
When an agency operates on a day but does not provide services to clients on that day it should still be counted as a day of operation. For example, an agency may be open for service, such as a drop in service, but no clients are seen.
