Case Management: Case Management is an individually centered, family and community focused service in which programs and resources are coordinated to enhance people's lives. Case Managers assist people to identify their unique strengths and to find ways to enhance them. Case Managers explain what supports are available for individuals, how to become eligible, and how to request services. The goal of the Case Manager is to assure that necessary services are provided effectively and efficiently through establishing meaningful relationships with each individual, their family, and the community in which they live, work and play.

Case managers act as an advocate and assist individuals with various aspects of their lives including:
Coordinating team process for developing treatment programs and monitoring to ensure that program is being delivered and goals are being met.
Locating and applying for desired services and placements
Acquiring and maintaining benefits and supports from other agencies.
Completing all paperwork to ensures each person receives Medicaid waiver services
Working with individual and family to complete state required reports and forms annually; including SIS, PAR and BUS
Developing and monitoring treatment programs to meet the needs of persons receiving services.
Communicating regularly between staff, persons served, and their families
Comprehensive Services: Designed for adults who need more intensive supervision and assistance in their daily lives. People in the program live in a host home setting, which is a family or individual who cares for the person in their home, or a group home or apartment setting, which are staffed and run by MVDS. This program is designed to help each person achieve the goals they set for themselves.
Supported Living Services (SLS): We understand that every individual has varying needs for specific services and supports based on their ability to live, work, and access the community at large. SLS allows individuals to customize the specific services and supports they need most so that they may live either independently or semi-independently with the support of family members at home. Services and supports may include direct personal care or instruction in areas as diverse as personal care, employment, volunteer opportunities, household maintenance, mentorship, transportation, professional services, health and fitness, among many others. Many services are provided in the individuals' residences as well as specialized and generic community-based settings. SLS Case Managers assist service users in information gathering and decision making in order to access the services and supports they need within a workable schedule.
