The intake process consists of a review of the resident’s packet of information from the referral source by the Clinical Supervisor. If the review of information appears to be appropriate, the Program Director will interview the resident to further assess the resident’s needs and attitude and to acquaint the resident with Neema Behavioral Health Residential Care. If, during the review of the information or interview of the resident, it is determined that NEEMA BHRC cannot meet the needs of the resident, the referral source will be notified.

As a private agency, NEEMA BHRC may find it necessary to refuse admission and treatment to a particular resident due to the extraordinary needs of the resident and/or a particular level of care needed by the resident that NEEMA BHRC does not provide. Placement/services may be denied if it is determined that introducing a particular resident to the home will be detrimental to the welfare or treatment of existing residents. When this occurs, the Program Director assisted by the Clinical Supervisor will provide the resident’s referring source with written notice of reason(s) for refusal of admission/services.

Age appropriate guidelines will be used in assigning a resident to a particular room. It is the goal of NEEMA BHRC to provide a safe and secure environment for all residents and consideration will be given in reference to room assignments.

NEEMA BHRC believes that every resident deserves a chance to heal, grow, and develop to their fullest potential. Therefore, admission and re-admissions are considered on a case by case basis.

NEEMA BHRC shall not refuse admission to any resident on the grounds of race, religion, or ethnic origin.
