Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions from case managers and CSBs.

QHow quickly do you respond to referrals?

We respond to all referrals within 24–48 business hours. Urgent or crisis referrals are prioritized and may receive a same-day response.

QDo you have beds available right now?

Yes — we currently have 2 beds available for immediate placement. We also maintain a waitlist for future openings.

QWho can submit a referral?

Referrals must be submitted by a CSB Support Coordinator, CSB-contracted case manager, or authorized referral facilitator. Families may contact us directly, but the formal referral must come through the CSB.

QWhat waivers do you accept?

We accept Community Living, Family and Individual Support, and Building Independence waivers. If you're unsure about waiver eligibility, contact us and we'll help assess options.

QDo you serve individuals with mental health diagnoses only?

No. We specialize in IDD and dual diagnosis (IDD + mental health). We do not serve individuals with mental health diagnoses only.

QWhat happens if there are no immediate beds available?

We place the individual on our waitlist and notify you as soon as a bed becomes available. We keep you updated regularly on waitlist status.
