On the date of admission a Betamarsh staff member is assigned to orientate the new resident. This Betamarsh staff member will become the Primary Worker for this youth. The Primary Worker will complete a New Resident Checklist with the child and during this orientation the youth will receive a copy of the Programming Guidelines, which includes rules and routines of the home, consequences, rights, responsibilities, and daily structure. If a resident has any learning disabilities staff will review the handbook with the resident in greater detail until they are confident the child understands the material.
