Once a referral is received at our facility and we have authorization for funding, the patient is invited to attend an "orientation" to learn more about the program. We encourage family members to come as well. The patient is also scheduled for an individual assessment with one of our staff and this occurs within a few weeks following the orientation (or can be arranged for same day for clients coming from a distance). The referral source, funder, (and/or other contacts) are notified of the appointment dates once they are confirmed with the patient.
