No. All of Rose Haven’s services are first come, first serve, including intakes. On your first visit, we encourage you to arrive at the very start of service. You will have a short intake and speak with one of our staff members. The intake process allows you the opportunity to make any specific needs you have known, and tell your story if you choose. You are not required to share any information you are not comfortable giving. After an intake is completed, you can take advantage of all the services that Rose Haven has to offer. Intakes are limited and subject to availability.
