Vine Village, Inc. serves individuals who, to the best of their ability, understand and agree to work with us in meeting their training and community integration needs. This service provision is based on a consumer's willingness to: accept the organization's assistance, follow-through with agreements and maintain a schedule that allows the organization to help one meet important service needs.  These procedures explain consumer eligibility, referral information, requirements, expectations, and exit criteria. The Administrator is responsible for organizing, developing, implementing, and revising these procedures. The management team makes the final.

Residential-Specific

In addition to the above criteria, Vine Village makes every effort to assure a good match between the incoming resident and the existing household. A person may be eligible in every other way, but if there is not a good fit within the household, it will not be a successful placement.

Day Program Specific

Transportation must be arranged by the client or the client's family or caretaker. Many clients arrive by private car, taxi, city Van-Go, or private transportation company.
