Archway believes in and uses the philosophy and approaches of person-centered planning. One critical way to show respect for each person’s individuality is through the use of person-centered planning which focuses on first, understanding the person and then, helping the person use effective decision-making skills to guide their journey of recovery.
Person-centered planning means that we listen to you closely in order to understand what is important to you in your life. We listen to what is and isn’t working for you and what you think needs to change. Workers form a helping partnership with you and work together on a plan that is meaningful to you. We help you find a main goal to work on and break it down into a few steps that will help you reach your goals.

Archway Station’s Complaint Process
Before Using the Complaint Procedure
Remember, many times things can be worked out if people just talk things out. If you really think someone’s done you wrong, try to tell the person what you’re feeling. It’s important to do that respectfully. It’s important to be open, honest, and adult-to-adult. A beginning conversation might go something like this, “When you did ____, it made me feel ____.” Sometimes it helps to practice what you’re going to say. Try it!
Complaint Process It’s meant to be quick and EASY. No matter what you complain about, no one will hold it against you. Forms are posted throughout the agency. Ask anyone to help support you. The BEST way to resolve an issue is to try to talk directly with the person to work things out. If that’s not possible, talk to your TEAM LEADER. The Compliance Officer will review the complaint and try to resolve things if that becomes necessary. If necessary, Executive Director gets INVOLVED. The Board’s Review Committee makes FINAL decision.
If you have any questions about this process, contact Archway’s Compliance Officer at 777-1700 Ext.2125
