     • Self Referrals

“We welcome early conversations to determine whether our housing model is appropriate for the individual’s needs.”

Admissions Process
Step 1: Referral Submission
The referral process begins with completion of our Online Referral Packet.
The packet helps us understand:
     • Medical and cognitive support needs
     • Safety considerations
     • Current living situation
     • TennChoices eligibility
    • Individual preferences and goals

“This information allows us to conduct a thorough, respectful review while maintaining confidentiality.”

All completed referral packets are reviewed by the Board of Directors.
The review focuses on:
      • Eligibility and alignment with TennChoices Programs
      • Individual needs and required supports
      • Safety considerations for the client and household
      • Overall fit with the home environment and care model

“This step ensures decisions are made with oversight, accountability, and ethical consideration.”

Step 3: Approval & Orientation
If approved, families and referral partners will participate in an orientation process, which includes:
     • Placement timelines
     • Transition planning
     • Overview of services and supports
     • Expectations for residents, families, and providers

“Our team works collaboratively to support a smooth, trauma informed transition into the home.”

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Who determines eligibility for placement?                                                                                                                                                                                                        Eligibility and placement decisions are reviewed by the Board of Directors based on referral information, safety considerations, and program alignment.
Does a medical diagnosis automatically qualify someone for placement?                                                                                                                                        No. Each referral is reviewed individually to ensure the home environment can safely and appropriately meet the person’s needs.
