The Process

From First Call
to First Night

Here's how the intake flow works, start to finish. Most of it can happen in a single day when eligibility lines up.

01

Reach Out

Call our 24/7 admissions line or submit a request through the site. Referrals from hospitals, case managers, and community providers are welcome.

02

Insurance Verification

Our system verifies Medicaid coverage automatically, around the clock. You don't have to wait for business hours to find out if we can help.

03

Digital Intake

Once verified, we send consent forms and intake paperwork securely. They can be completed from anywhere — a hospital room, a shelter, a phone on the couch.

04

Clinical Review

A clinician reviews the intake, confirms the program is the right fit, and coordinates bed assignment with the admissions team.

05

Same-Day Admission

When a bed is available, admission can happen the same day. We meet you at the door, handle the logistics, and help you settle in.
