The initial inquiry form can be completed online. It is then reviewed over phone or in person with our Resident Experience Director. This step in the process allows our team to assess whether an individual meets the minimum requirements for admission. If an individual does meet the minimum requirements, he or she will be given the opportunity to proceed to the next step of the process.
The tour should be scheduled as close to the initial inquiry as possible. It is recommended that the prospective resident attend the tour to allow for a brief assessment on compatibility by Treasure House staff. If unable to attend, a second tour should be scheduled with the family and the prospective resident. This step can be postponed for out of state prospective residents.
Following the tour, the family, guardian and individual will receive instructions for completing our online application. All supplementary documentation must be provided prior to moving onto the next step. An application review fee of $500 will then be assessed.
The prospective resident’s application and supporting documents will be reviewed by the staff that make up our review team. Upon review the Resident Experience Director will contact the prospective resident and their family with a waitlist decision.
If the review team recommends adding the prospective resident to the waitlist, Treasure House will assess a non-refundable reservation fee of $1,000 to secure the individual’s placement.
If the prospective resident appears to be a good fit, during the application process they will be invited to join the Treasure House residents and staff for a meal or activity. During this time, staff will observe and notice peer to peer interactions as well as resident to staff interactions.
When there is an opening at Treasure House the prospective resident that is the next best fit is offered a two week trial stay to experience the environment and participate in activities. If the trial stay goes well the prospective resident would be offered residency at the conclusion.
At least two weeks prior to the trial stay, Treasure House Staff and the prospective resident and their guardians will meet to review current abilities and needs in detail. The Life Coach will use this information to develop the accommodation plan to support the resident during their trial stay and the first 60 days of residency if offered.
Did the trial stay go well? What were areas of success, challenge and opportunity? A phone call to guardians will discuss if Treasure House is an appropriate environment for the individual. Move-in date is discussed.
The Admissions agreement will be signed, deposit and first month’s payment are due, and the apartment move-in inspection will be completed during the meeting.
The resident and his or her family will move the resident’s belongings in!
Treasure House is currently at full capacity. While housing for additional resident’s is not immediately available, it may be in the future. Inquire about joining the Treasure House waitlist by contacting kady@treasurehouse.org. If there is availability, all applications will be reviewed, and a selection will be made based upon the best fit for the individual and our community.
