Review DDA provider monitoringBefore you start
- Provider shortlist, authorized service, person-specific support needs, risk and communication profile, schedule, location, and questions about staffing and safeguards.
Who to contact
The provider for operational capacity; the Service Coordinator and DDA for coordination and available oversight information.
Step by step
- Confirm the provider is listed for the needed service.
- Ask the provider about current opening, staffing, schedule, geography, safeguards, communication supports, and assessment process.
- Ask the Service Coordinator about available monitoring information and document why the option fits or does not fit.
Expected next
A documented acceptance, assessment step, wait status, or decline for the specific referral.
Save this proof
Listing source, call or email notes, capacity statement, assessment result, staffing and safeguard answers, and final decision.
If this stalls or the answer is no
Ask the provider for a clear referral status and ask the Service Coordinator to document replacement search or contingency steps.
