Who is Eligible for Services at the Perkins Center? The Perkins Center is a division of the Kentucky Office of Vocational Rehabilitation (OVR). The mission of both Kentucky OVR and the Perkins Center is the same-to assist Kentuckians with disabilities to achieve suitable employment and independence. The vast majority of referrals to the Perkins Center are made by OVR Counselors located throughout Kentucky. Rehabilitation Counselors are specially trained professionals who understand disability issues and assist persons with disabilities to achieve the person’s goals. The Counselor will make a referral to the Perkins Center if they feel the person could benefit from one or more services. As a priority, the Perkins Center provides services to persons referred by OVR. The Perkins Center accepts some types of insurance, or, fee-for-services payments for area residents who are not referred by OVR but would like to come to the Perkins Center. Because its purpose it to promote independence in work and daily living, the Perkins Center does not accept persons for treatment of acute disorders or for long-term care.
How can I Apply for Vocational Rehabilitation Services? Click here or call 1-800-327-7172 to find Vocational Rehabilitation office and Counselor nearest you. How Does the Admissions Process Work? All referrals are sent to the Center’s Admissions Office. The OVR Counselor provides the Center with current information that will help the Center understand the needs of the person referred. The Admissions Office reviews the information provided by the Counselor and makes a decision as to whether the facility has the services requested. If an individual has received services from the Center in the past, that person may reapply. Eligibility for readmission will be determined at the time the Center receives the new application for admissions. |
