STAFF AND FAMILY CONSULTATION provides assistance to your family and to providers. Staff and Family Consults can help support the individual, get their needs met and increase their independence and inclusion in their community. After your case resource manager authorizes services, we will contact you to set up a meeting. With your input, we will complete a plan that describes what you will work on together. This report will be created within the first 30 days and then updated and completed every 90 days after that. Staff and Family Consultation is available to participants enrolled on any of the five DDA waivers, the Roads to Community Living grant, or the Preadmission Screening and Resident Review program (PASRR).
