Case Management

CPRF is taking extra precaution during this time to ensure the health and safety of our staff and those we serve. Visitors to any CPRF building will be asked a series of screening questions and have their temperature taken before being escorted by a staff member to their designated meeting room. Please wear a face mask when visiting any CPRF building. Staff members are also screened, including temperature readings, upon arriving to work. Staff members will be wearing masks when meeting with clients. All meeting spaces are thoroughly sanitized after each use. Visitors and staff are expected to maintain social distance, as they are able. We thank you for accommodating these added measures.

Our Targeted Case Management (TCM) team coordinates services for individuals with disabilities who receive the Intellectual/Developmental Disability (I/DD) waiver in achieving and maintaining their preferred lifestyle by helping clients understand their rights and responsibilities. Our case managers work hard to assist those we serve in locating/accessing services, funding sources, and community resources.

CPRF is dedicated to assisting all the individuals that we serve access opportunities for employment, employment training, and community resources to help them reach their personal employment goals.

  • Support Plans address community employment and include goals that help individuals reach their full working potential.
  • TCMs assist with locating options for employment, training, as well as community resources to help build the skills and confidence needed to work in the community.
  • TCMs have the ability to connect clients who want to work with resources available through CPRF, and through our local Vocational Rehabilitation ( VR) office. VR works directly with CPRF’s Job Placement Department to help those with disabilities become gainfully employed.
