HOW TO BE A
MAFS CLIENT
Any person who fulfills the above mentioned
Criteria, can Apply for this program by visiting us at MAFS and
filling out the referral form or can fill the online Application
and we will mail your Application to the Illinois Department on
Aging and a Case Manager will visit you for Assessment.
Client must have an assessment by a Case
Manager to establish the need for Service, the client's eligibility
for service, and the plan for the amount and kind of service to
be provided. Case Managers usually conducts the assessment in the
client's home. If necessary, the Case Manager must find an interpreter
when conducting Client's assessment. A family member or a Staff
Member of Metropolitan Asian Family Services should not be the interpreter,
as this is considered to be a conflict of interest by the Illinois
Department on Aging.
Clients are referred to MAFS from the CMU.
Service for the Client will Start within 15 days if the Client is
