At this time, the timeliness of your move in, is contingent on you making your scheduled appointments with me so that the required paperwork can be completed. We have several items that need to be completed. That cannot be done, unless you come to the office and complete them. I usually create my schedule a week or two in advance, and can fit unexpected meetings between prescheduled one’s. Since this program primary focus is on self- sufficiency, I work with participants with appointments only. Therefore, I ask that you contact, before you attempt to come to the office, since I may have other appointments scheduled at that time.
