Admission Planning

• What are the rights and responsibilities of people participating in this program? How does the program inform the individual of these? Can I have a copy?
• How does the program decide whom to admit?
• How will the program obtain the medical and other records needed to make this decision?
• Can I get a proposed service or treatment plan before I decide? If so, how?
• How do you involve the person's current program or service in the admission and transition process?
• What will the program be required to do prior to admission? How long will that take? What must I do?
• How can I arrange to spend a half-day or day observing the program?
• What is your understanding of the role my funding source has in the decision making process about the program I select?
• What forms or contracts am I expected to sign prior to admission? How can I get a copy of each to read thoroughly before I sign?
