REFERRALS, ENTRANCE, AND EXIT CRITERIA
Referral/Admission to AFS, Inc.:
Potential members must be approved for CES Waiver Services in the state of Arkansas. Upon approval for CES Waiver Services, any person and/or entity may refer a CES Waiver Services recipient to AFS, Inc. Once AFS, Inc. receives a referral, an inter-disciplinary team within the organization will review the referral to determine whether AFS, Inc. can meet the needs of the recipient. Once a decision is made, the referral source will be informed of the decision (the recipient and/or their legal representative will also be informed of the decision if possible).
AFS, Inc. has implemented a Waiting List for potential members. CES Waiver Services recipients are added to the Wait List based on the date/time that the referral was received by AFS, Inc. When membership at AFS, Inc. becomes available, potential members will be contacted on a first-come-first-served basis as determined by the date/time of initial referral.
