All clients accepted into the Family Care program must complete an admission application and various steps of assessment. The first step is to complete an admission application below. This is followed by an intake interview for qualified applicants and Family Care staff. A written admissions assessment of the information gathered from the intake interview will be prepared, addressing the physical, educational, financial, medical, spiritual, and emotional needs of the client. The level of motivation on the part of the potential resident is a significant factor in determining cottage placement.
The following is required before admission can be considered:
- Valid Texas Driver's License
- Must be able to work or go to school full-time
- Clean criminal background record
Additional information needed before admission can be considered is:
- Birth certificate for each family member
- Social security card for each family member
- Immunization record for each child
- Documentation of negative TB test results for mother
- Automobile insurance and registration certificate
- Child custody documents
- Restraining order if applicable
- Criminal background check
Applications can be completed below and are also available and may be filled out in our lobby at 1101 North Mays, Round Rock between 8:00 AM - 5:00 PM, Monday through Friday. Once a completed application is returned to the Family Care office, the intake coordinator will contact the applicant about next steps in the process. If it is determined that admission to Family Care is not appropriate for the ministry or the applicant, referrals are available to appropriate nonprofit resources in the community.
