ADMISSIONS PROCESS

Admissions Team Review

Families who are considering Destiny Management as a Service provider will be asked to provide the agency with documentation to help our admissions team prepare for services. Our Intake Specialist will review with the Legally Responsible Person (LRP) what documentation is needed for the admissions panel to review at the time of referral.  These documents can be presented in person, faxed, emailed or requested to be sent from Care Managers directly to the agency. The Admissions Committee includes our Quality Management Coordinator, our Registered Nurse, our Intake Specialist and Interim Qualified Professional. Once our Admissions Committee has met, additional information may be requested prior to moving forward with the admission process. Our Intake Specialist will facilitate communication with families in order to complete the admissions process, including arranging for a time to sign legal and medical consents, obtain legal guardianship papers, develop short range goals, and determine a target start date to begin services.
