Review DDA service coordination

Before you start

  • What changed, when, current risk, caregiver or housing change, service failures, incident or clinical records, current ISP, and the correction requested.

Who to contact

Assigned Service Coordinator and Service Planning and Coordination supervisor when escalation is needed.

Step by step

  1. Notify the Service Coordinator immediately when needs or status change.
  2. Provide a dated changed-need summary and supporting records.
  3. Ask for the ISP, service options, and monitoring response to be updated and for every unresolved decision to have an owner and next date.

Expected next

Documented review, updated planning or service action, and a dated next step for unresolved needs.

Save this proof

Changed-need summary, supporting records, contact log, meeting notice, updated ISP or action plan, and notices.

If this stalls or the answer is no

Ask the supervisor to confirm the reassessment and use the appropriate complaint or notice-specific appeal route if the response remains inadequate.
