County is requesting proposals for a Residential Diversion
Facility that provides community crisis services for up to twelve
consumers, diverting and shortening admissions from inpatient
settings, including private hospitals. It is expected that this facility will be able to
respond to referrals on a 24/7 basis and serve consumers for whom
existing resources, such as Crisis Homes, Recovery House and Short
Term Care, do not. It is expected that this facility serves consumers
who present with more challenging behaviors, such as water
intoxication, risk of aggression, inadequate/improper socialization, or
with consumers who present with more acute needs, such as
psychosis, suicidality, medical/medication management or 24/7
awake supervision.
