Level 6 Staffing Intensity & 24/7 Awake Supervision

Level 6 is a crisis-level behavioral designation under the DDS residential rate framework, and it is staffed accordingly — 1:1 and 2:1 support as each resident's Individual Program Plan requires, with awake staff through the night. That is a different order of supervision than a standard residential placement: a resident who needs constant line-of-sight, or two staff for safe response, gets it here rather than being turned away. No shared shifts with forty other residents. Real supervision, all night.

Applied Behavior Analysis — Integrated, Not Scheduled

ABA principles are embedded into every meal, every transition, and every community outing — not delivered as isolated therapy sessions. Antecedent-behavior-consequence analysis shapes every staff interaction, all day long.

Positive Behavior Support & BSP Implementation

We implement individualized Behavior Support Plans developed in collaboration with your BCBA team. Proactive strategies, environmental modifications, and functional skill replacement — reducing reactive interventions through consistent daily structure.

Documentation You Can Count On

Monthly progress notes, incident reports (per Title 22 §87211), behavioral data logs, medication administration records (MAR), and daily activity logs — maintained accurately and available to referring clinicians upon request. No chasing paperwork.

Full Title 22 Compliance — Licensed, Inspected & Committed to Compliance

California-licensed Level 6 ARF committed to maintaining full compliance with Title 22 requirements. Our home includes dual-locked medication storage, an accessible bathroom with transfer bench and grab bars, a dedicated visitor/staff restroom, secured exterior storage, and staff credentials posted at the front entrance. Required inspections are part of our ongoing regulatory oversight, and we maintain compliance year-round—not only when an inspection is scheduled.

Direct Administrator Access & Family Communication

Stephanie Leary answers her own phone — call (951) 245-3504. We provide monthly progress notes, behavioral data logs, incident reports (per Title 22 §87211), and MAR documentation. Families receive regular updates, can visit any time, and are always welcome at care planning meetings. Open-door policy — no surprises, ever.

Single-Story Home Built for Access & Least-Restrictive Placement

No stairs anywhere — residents using a walker can move throughout the home and access the yard step-free, with ground-level evacuation from every room. No more than two residents share a bedroom, with each resident having their own bed, storage, and the opportunity to personalize their space. Every resident toilet is located in its own enclosed compartment and includes a bidet to support independence with personal care.

The home provides a safe, open residential environment without locked doors or restrictive security measures. Supervision and support are individualized according to each resident’s IPP, allowing residents the greatest level of independence while maintaining their health and safety.

A Level 6 Behavioral Home — Staffed and Trained for Complex Needs

Level 6 is a behavioral designation, and we built the program around it. This is a home for adults whose behavioral needs are significant enough that most settings can't support them — severe disruptive behavior, self-injury, aggression, elopement risk, and the complex presentations that often follow a hospital or crisis placement. Staff are trained on each resident's individual Behavior Support Plan before they ever work with that resident, and on de-escalation and safe response to challenging behavior as a condition of working here — not as an optional in-service.

Ongoing Training & Clinical Consultation — Not Just Onboarding

Every team member completes ARF Core Knowledge, CPR, First Aid, medication management, and Mandated Reporter certification before their first shift. Training continues from there. Our consulting BCBA leads regular staff training on behavior-analytic technique, accurate data collection, antecedent strategies, and safe response — with refreshers whenever a Behavior Support Plan is revised or a new resident transitions in. We track regulatory updates from CDSS and DDS so staff practice reflects current Title 22 and Title 17 requirements, not whatever was in force the year they were hired.

Honest About Fit — Before Placement, Not After

We accept residents whose needs we are genuinely staffed and trained to meet, and we tell you during assessment if we're not the right home rather than discovering it after move-in. For a discharge planner or service coordinator, that means fewer failed placements and no emergency call three weeks later. When we say yes to a referral, it's because we've reviewed the behavioral history, the BSP, and the support requirements, and we know we can deliver them.
