When you are accepted into our program for the first time we will contact you to schedule an appointment to visit your home to perform a home assessment. During the assessment we will collect information on your home’s systems and condition and to talk with you about services you would like to have performed. After your home assessment has been reviewed in our office we will let you know by letter what services are to be provided and we will call you to make an appointment to perform those services. Services that are required for your health or safety are the highest priority.
