Intake

Hey all! My name is Rick, and I am the Intake Specialist for Bridges of Indiana. I want to take just a moment to tell you a little about what it is I do. I work hand in hand with Case managers as well as agencies that work with the elderly and people with disabilities. All of us work together to focus on assisting in meeting your needs. My roll is to meet with potential consumers, explain our services, and do an assessment to make sure that we can appropriately satisfy your needs.

The first step in doing that is for a Case Manager or yourself to make a simple phone call to me at 812-881-1220 and schedule an intake interview. At that time I will go over all of the services that Bridges of Indiana has to offer. We will discuss topics like what it is you enjoy doing, things you want to have help accomplishing, and places you might like to go out in the community. I will take that information and share it with the Director of the office that serves your area. When you decide to choose our agency, the Director will call you to introduce himself and tell you who your Service Coordinator (SC) will be. Your SC will then be in touch with you to discuss setting up an interview for you to be introduced to possible staff that will be working with you. At that time you are given the opportunity to speak with the staff and conduct your own interview to see if that person is someone you would feel comfortable working with. If you feel that it is a good match you will let the SC know and the hiring/training will begin.

It is the desire of Bridges of Indiana to make sure that all of your needs are being met on a friendly and trust worthy level. We want you to be comfortable and feel safe with the individual that is going to be spending time with you. We also hope that you will have the opportunity to enjoy the things that you have wanted to do. A chance to build relationships and build bonds and friendships. So, it is my hope that you will give Bridges of Indiana the opportunity to help make your life more fulfilling and meaningful. Once again, if you have any questions, please contact ME at 812-881-1220.

Looking forward to hearing from you,

Rick Spaulding
