A candidate for someone living at The Lodge has likely attempted independent living or employment and has difficulty maintaining them due to mental health related concerns. Although we are not there yet, we will soon get to a phase where we are conducting screening and eligibility questionnaires in stages. We can currently share the following as an initial eligibility:
• APD recipient with dedicated residential funding appropriate to the level of need for the resident OR person with IDD with the financial support to cover a private room & board rate
• Mental health barriers or diagnoses documented by a licensed mental health professional or physician
• Medicaid State Plan or acceptable Medicaid Managed Care Plan to cover mental health services OR ability to fund these support services by other means
• Goal of living independently in the future
