INTAKE PROCESS
Embedded Files
Now expanding to the St. Cloud and east/southeast Metro Minneapolis/St. Paul areas!
DreamLife has a multi-step approach to getting you settled into our supports. Our intake process starts with a two step meeting approach. We first meet with you to orient you to our supports, learn more about you, see if there are matching values, and if we are the right fit for you. If you decide to move forward, we do a comprehensive intake process. At least two Associates will meet with you: one to ask questions and take notes on the paperwork and the other is to support you during the process, assisting you to make the situation as easy and comfortable for you as possible. Your case manager, guardian, and other team members can also attend. After that we launch DreamLiving whereby you spend the first 45 days getting to understand your life style, goals, and needs. During this time and throughout your supports, we will have shadow shift to train Associates who will support you. We then establsih formal and informal goals. This entire approach is desigined to fully support you and ensuring you have a positive, low anxiety, and seamless experience.
INITIAL MEET + GREET
Selecting our services should be your choice. That's how Person Centeredness should work.
Our initial meeting is about making the right connection and finding the Rainbow of Possibilities for you. Are we right for you? Are you a right fit for our approach and services? What do you want? Where do you want to go?
We will share who we are, our values, how we were founded, our unique approach, and our staffing.
We will ask you about your situation, verify some information, determine some of your specific needs, and ask about your dreams.
DREAMLIFER INTAKE
After securing authorization from your Case Manager, we will meet with you to put together documentation that will be used by us to support your life. During this meeting we will have two individuals in attendance: one to ask questions and take notes and the other to support you in the paperwork process.
Our documents meet all MN245D requirements and go beyond that with active listening and responsiveness to what you say and indicate to us.
Our documents are uploaded to the cloud so there is no paperwork floating around, securing your identity. We will update your documents on a regular basis and coordinate with your case manager and others as needed.
DREAMLIVING LAUNCH
We help you establish short and long term goals from the beginning and track and modify those goals to meet your needs as time progresses and you evolve.
We don't all live our goals on a daily basis. Because living is more than tracking and meeting goals. Thus we have a comprehensive community approach that gets you out in the world, meeting new people, and doing fun things.
We offer opportunities in solo and group activities, clubs, exploration to new places, skill and life based classes, and some added outings to fit your needs and growth.
YOUR CHOICE
After our Meet and Greet, you get to choose whether you want to engage our services or not and what supports are best for you. We want this to be a good fit for you.
The decision is in your hands!
ASSOCIATE MATCH
After your initial intake session, you will start services with those who have already met and know you. We will introduce multiple shadow staff to build your support team.
We carefully match you with the best Destiny Associates capable of providing your specific supports. Our leaders will meet and support you throughout the year.
DREAMLIVING BENEFITS
Every Destiny Associate has a Black Card Planet Fitness membership allowing them to take any individual we support into the club to work out. You can join others to have regular workout clubs.
We also have a regular every other Friday Coffee Club, a monthly gaming group, seasonal sports events, movie nights, Dungeons and Dragons, a support group led by DreamLifers, and opportunities to attend concerts, shows, and so much more. You create your own Destiny!
