We welcome and admit individuals of any race, color, national and ethnic origin, socio-economic background to all the rights, privileges, programs, and activities made available to all individuals supported by Scott Key Center. Scott Key Center does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, sex, physical or mental disability. Scott Key Center’s admission decision for each individual is based on examination of the materials presented and consideration of information obtained during the intake meeting. From these sources, we determine if Scott Key Center can support the level of care needs of the individual referred. Each Scott Key Center student is required to have a record of a recent physical (within the last 12 months) a dental exam completed within the last 12 months, and record of current immunizations prior to enrollment. If you currently take medication, we will need original prescriptions (when possible one week prior to enrollment). Our Registered Nurse will discuss specific requirements for medication distribution with you.
