Melaney Fugett

As a dedicated social service professional, I have developed individualized care plans for assigned caseloads, ensuring effective support and resource coordination. I have conducted thorough investigations into abuse and neglect cases, providing crisis intervention and advocacy for those in need. My role has involved assessing client needs, facilitating access to essential services such as clinical care and nursing home placement, and determining financial eligibility for day care and homemaker programs to optimize resource distribution. Additionally, I have recruited and evaluated applicants for foster care and residential day care programs, ensuring compliance and suitability for placement. I have engaged with the public and various community groups to promote awareness and education on social service initiatives, as well as prepared detailed court reports and provided testimony to accurately represent cases in legal proceedings.

As the Residential House Manager, I oversee the daily operations of a residential home for individuals with developmental disabilities, ensuring a safe, supportive, and well-managed environment. I am responsible for staffing coverage, coordinating active treatment program planning, and ensuring compliance with state, federal, local, and agency regulations. Additionally, I provide direct supervision to the care staff, fostering a high standard of service delivery that promotes the independence, health, and safety of the individuals served. My role requires strong leadership, organization, and dedication to maintaining quality care and operational efficiency within the home.
