We are proud to be a member of CARF

Commission on Accrediation of Rehabilitation Racilities

Admission Criteria:

Client support services are available to any client, or their family, in need of support in their home or community. The target population is at a higher risk for becoming disengaged from services. The client support specialist operates from a “been there before” perspective and will relate to other consumers on a different level than a professional staff member. 

Format:

Client support services are delivered in the home and in the community as needed and include:

• Enhancing community integration through opportunities for community access and involvement
• Collateral contacts with significant others
• Assessing needs and planning services
• Linking individuals directly to services and supports
• Assisting the individual directly to develop, obtain, and manage needed resources
• Coordinating services/service planning with other agencies and providers
• Monitoring of the services delivery system
• On-going assessment of needs, goals, and preferences
• Advocating for the client in response to needs
• Planning for transition between services or life stages
• Coordination of transportation services
• Assistance with budgeting, shopping, housekeeping skills and personal hygiene

Discharge Criteria:

Discharge from client support services takes place when the client and/or the therapist determine that the client is able to identify their needs and access the appropriate services to meet those needs.
