We accept adults with serious mental illness who need 24-hour support and are stable enough for community living.

Functional Need
•  Require 24-hour supervision and support due to psychiatric symptoms, impaired functioning, or inability to live independently

•  Have a comprehensive clinical assessment (often by a licensed mental health professional or hospital discharge planner)
•  Be referred by a case manager, support coordinator, or hospital unit, with documentation of need for residential services, or by the individual themselves (certain qualifying circumstances)

 

 Funding & Authorization: Be eligible for Medicaid, private pay, or other funding sources
