Oh heck no!
If licensing required us to do that I’d quit.
I refuse to parent parents and I refuse to work under rules that support and encourage providers to do so.
For no shows... I bill for the day anyways and don’t give it another thought.
....however my policies state that since communication is key to a successful working relationship....after 3 no shows, I consider the behavior a disregard or violation of program policies and that means immediate termination of services.
I refuse to work with a family that does not respect or value my time/services.
In today’s world there is simply no excuse for no communication other than pure laziness or lack of respect.
Josie- I’m sorry your DCF is being so rude towards you
