  • We will provide fast, friendly, professional, quality service.
  • We will listen and respond courteously to our clients and respect their wishes in a two-way relationship built upon trust.
  • There will be a staff member available to assist clients at all times during regular business hours.

  • Telephone calls will be returned within 24 hours. If a message is left for someone who is away, another staff member will return the call.
  • When possible, Case Managers will see people immediately. Alternatively, an appointment at a mutually convenient time will be arranged.
