of Experience
Meridian Services Case Management Department
is a team of experienced professionals who work collaboratively,
sharing their experience, knowledge, and insight. The Case
Management Department is supervised by a Licensed Social Worker
who is also one of our company's senior Administrators.
Striving for Excellence
Meridian Services has contracted with counties
throughout the state
of Minnesota to provide Case Management to consumers with
developmental disabilities and related conditions. The goal
is to
provide high quality support services and to assure that needs
of
individual consumers are being met.
Our Case Managers perform all requirements of
Rule 185 including:
needs assessment; individual service plan development; screenings;
coordinating team activities; assisting with planning for
new service
development; locating residential, vocational, and other needed
services; monitoring service delivery; conducting consumer
visits;
developing waiver budgets; and acting as advocates for consumers.
A Viable and Economic Option
Contracted Case Management Services is a viable
and economic option for county human services departments.
Cost savings include direct and indirect expenses, including
the cost of transportation,
maintaining office space, and the expenses the county incurs
for
training and providing benefits for their own employees.
Our contracted Case Managers have become familiar
with many of the
cities, towns, and rural areas that comprise the communities
of
Minnesota. We are knowledgeable of many of the resources available
to the consumer but also have experience locating resources
in
communities that are new to us.
