Services Coordination

What is Service Coordination?


Service Coordination is a support service that helps consumers and their families get the types of services they may need or want.  A Service Coordinator works with the consumer, their family, and/or advocate to help them access social, medical, clinical, educational, vocational, residential, and other services or supports that help the consumers reach their full potential. The Service Coordinator helps the consumer make and meet goals that are important to the consumer.


What is a Consumer Choice of Service Coordinator?


The Service coordinator is chosen by the consumer to work for the consumer.  One of the key components of Service Coordination is to work as a partner with the consumer to live and take part in in their community in a way that matches the consumer's needs, personal goals, and preferences


We provide services in Chenango, Delaware, Otsego and other counties.
