The correct answer is: The comprehensive goals of the department

The Scope of Care in a written plan of operation serves to outline the comprehensive goals of the department. This document provides a framework for what the therapeutic recreation department aims to achieve, including the mission, vision, and overarching purposes that guide service delivery. By defining these goals, the Scope of Care ensures that all activities and programs are aligned with the desired outcomes for the clients served. In the context of therapeutic recreation, comprehensive goals often address various dimensions of well-being, such as physical, emotional, social, and cognitive health. The goals may also relate to improving quality of life, enhancing functional abilities, and promoting independence among clients. Having a well-defined set of goals helps staff understand the priorities of the department and assists in the development of effective programs that meet the needs of clients.
