Admissions
Cedars supports adults with developmental disabilities in
leading full lives.
If you would like to discuss admissions please contact Cheryl White, Co-Executive Director at 415.526.1352 or cheryl@cedarslife.org.
Admissions to Cedars programs includes an assessment process to determine if our services are a good fit for the individual. When Cedars receives a referral or a request for services, a team of Cedars staff works to assess whether there is a match between the needs of the individual and the services available in Cedars programs.
This assessment process includes, but is not limited to, a review of a referral packet, personal meetings with families and individuals, and opportunities to visit Cedars programs for tours.
We often set up day and/or overnight visits to make sure that the fit is a good one for everyone. If it is determined that our services will meet your needs, we will work closely with families and new residents or day program participants to ensure a smooth transition.
