3 Steps to Start Community Integration
The following applies to all of our “Community Integration Services”, for information on other services we offer, like “Community Employment” refer to “Starting Our Other Services” at the bottom of this page.
Apply & Tour!
If you or someone you know is interested in recieving services from CVII complete and submit an Application/Referral for Services Form. After you have applied contact us at 704-471-0606 or via email to set up a tour. The Tour generally takes about 30 minutes.
The Intake!
The Intake Process may take an hour and can occur immediately after the tour or on a later date. After the individual has had a tour of our facility and has made the decision to receive our services contact us to set up an appointment for an intake. Case Managers can get ahead of the game by downloading, completing, and bringing the following forms to the Intake Meeting:
- Medical Form (Nice to get started or out of the way)
- Admission Checklist (Great Case Managment Tool)
Complete as much as you can to make the Intake Meeting a faster and smoother process. After you’re done Contact an Intake Specialist to set up an appointment to complete the Intake.
The Review!
After the Tour, Intake Meeting, and we have received everything from the Case Manager a Review can occur. A Review is a meeting between the Program Coordinators and the Intake Specialist. In this meeting we review everything that we have to make sure that we can adequatley meet the individuals needs. Case Managers, be sure to get a copy of our Admission Checklist to see what items we’ll be needed for the Review. The expected wait time is approximately 2 weeks after the review which allows us time to hire new staff, In-Service staff and make other arrangements.
