Who we take referrals from

If you place people, we should talk.

We work with the professionals who see housing instability first — and who need somewhere reliable to send someone on short notice.

  • Hospital and behavioral health discharge planners
  • Case managers and social workers
  • Veterans services and VA-connected programs
  • Reentry and transitional programs
  • Aging and disability services organizations

The referral process

Simple, and honest about fit.

We'd rather decline a referral early than accept a placement that fails in three weeks. Expect a real conversation about whether the Cottage is right for your client.

1

Send the referral

Use the inquiry form and choose "Referral," or call directly. Include timeline and payment source if you know them.

2

Capacity & fit review

We check current openings and room type, then discuss independence level and how the placement fits the existing household.

3

Confirm payment

Agency pay, SSI/SSDI, VA benefits, private pay, Medicaid housing assistance when approved, or community sponsorship — we'll confirm what works.

4

Coordinate move-in

Lease signed, room assigned, arrival scheduled. We keep you in the loop through the handoff.

What to tell your client

What a bed here actually includes.

Private & semi-private rooms

Furnished. $700 income-based semi-private (limited beds), $950 semi-private, $1,100 private.

All utilities & Wi-Fi

Included in the monthly rate. No separate accounts, deposits, or shut-off risk.

In-home laundry

Washer and dryer on site — a meaningful detail for clients without transportation.

Clean, well-kept shared spaces

Housekeeping standards we hold ourselves to, in shared areas and private rooms alike.

Flexible lease options

Terms that fit real circumstances, including shorter stays between placements.

Structured environment

Clear house expectations and a predictable daily rhythm — useful for stability after discharge.

Housing only — no care provided

We do not provide medical care, personal care, or medication management. Residents must be able to live independently. Outside services can be arranged by the resident with any provider they choose.

Beds are limited
