Ashley always exceeds expectations and has consistently demonstrated competency in the key result areas set forth for the position of Intake, Admissions & Discharge Coordinator at Castlewood at The Highlands. She excels at facilitating the admission and discharge of clients at The Highlands including providing information to and answering questions for prospective clients and their family members or referral sources, verifying eligibility and benefits with insurance companies, scheduling facility tours, completing Clinical Intakes via face to face assessment or phone, and ensuring that Medical Clearances are complete and approved prior to scheduling an admission day. Her scoring and entry of the internal assessments/research questionnaires that the clients complete upon admission and discharge is invaluable to the treatment team. Additionally, Ashley goes above and beyond the call of duty when asked to complete any administrative or clerical issues that arise throughout the course of the business day with a positive attitude that is appreciated by management and peers.
