• Complete the Resident Application (Private Placement)
• Complete the Resident Application (DHR Referral)
• Private Placement: 
  
  • Interview as a family with staff (must bring all needed paperwork: completed resident application, school records, medical information, behavior record, birth certificate, social security card, and insurance cards).
• DHR Referral:
  
  • Interview with DHR worker and resident (must bring all needed paperwork: completed resident application, school records, medical information, behavior record, birth certificate, social security care, and insurance cards). 
• If, after initial interview, family/DHR and staff want to proceed we will do a pre-placement trial run. This usually lasts about a week to determine if we feel like we can help the child and the family is comfortable with them staying.  We will complete the remainder of paperwork at this time.
