Case Management
Case Management is a comprehensive service that involves assessing an individual's strengths and needs for services. Those with intellectual disability may need help organizing and managing their lives, for example, arranging for housing, food, employment, health care, income, etc. Case management addresses those every day needs and may also help with planning and coordinating total living needs.
A Community Resources Coordinator is assigned to each adult or child who requests Community Options services. This individual coordinates resources and facilitates independence and stability. Services for individuals include assessment, planning, linking, and monitoring, as well as assisting families by advocating on their behalf, identifying needs, and developing individual service plans (ISP).
Case Management also involves pre-admission screening (only after all community resources have been considered) and pre-discharge planning for individuals referred for community living from an institution.
To make a referral or request additional information, contact the Community Recourses Coordinator Supervisor at (804) 758-5877 or (800) 311-5390.
