A pаtient wаs referred tо physicаl therapy due tо functiоnal decline following a recent bout of pneumonia. The patient has a history of a cerebrovascular accident that occurred 3 years ago and has mild hemiplegia and mild spasticity of the left upper and lower extremity. Following 8 weeks of therapy, the patient has met their goals for improvement in transfers and ambulation with use of a front-wheeled walker to a Modified independent level, which is their prior baseline level of function. The physical therapist has provided the patient with a home program that they can complete independently. The patient reports that they have some difficulty completing the lower extremity flexibility exercises. This difficulty could be alleviated with a caregiver's assistance, but the patient lives alone and does not have a caregiver available. What is the most appropriate action for the physical therapist to take?
