There are two methods you can use to receive services from Brooke Care, Inc.
The first method involves becoming a client of the Springfield Regional Center
in Springfield, Missouri. To do this you must call the Regional Center
toll free at 1-888-549-6635 and schedule an intake. The intake worker will then
make a visit to your home and assist you to fill out the required eligibility
documentation. A psychiatrist will also attend this meeting and do some standard
testing in order to determine if you/your family member are eligible for
services. Once determined eligible you will be assigned a Service Coordinator
who will assist you to set up a Personal Plan which outlines the services you
are needing. Next you simply request Brooke Care to be your service provider and
a meeting will be set up by the Service Coordinator for you to meet with Brooke
Care. After this meeting support staff can be hired and trained and
services can then be provided. It's that simple.
The second method involves securing services thru private pay. Anyone is
eligible to receive services via this route; simply contact the Brooke Care
offices at 1-800-683-5955 and speak to Steve Harter. Steve will assist you
to explore the types of services you need and then help develop your contract
and any payment plans. Once this is complete we can begin the hiring
process and you will soon be receiving the services you need.

Yes you can. We believe that the individual receiving services should
be empowered to hire their own staff. It makes sense that the individual
spending the most time with the support staff be integral in deciding
who that support staff will be. We only have to follow a few simple
contractual rules regarding staff qualifications.
|
|
|
All staff that are hired are subject to thorough criminal background
checks as well as a Missouri Motor Vehicle Drivers Detail report.
In addition we offer extensive training to all of our staff. This ensures
they have the skills necessary to provide the highest quality of service to
our clients.

Services that are set up for private pay are paid for by the party(s) that contracted for the services.
If you receive services through the Springfield Regional Center you
will most likely have your services paid for by Medicaid/Medicare or
private insurance. There is a slight possibility that you may have a
small amount of out of pocket expenses, however this is rare and will be
determined during the eligibility process.
