Understanding Eligibility
What this means
in practice.
Dignity Living serves adults with developmental disabilities. Residential fit and admission require individualized review; Regional Center service eligibility is determined by the relevant Regional Center, not by Dignity Living.
“The individual’s dignity, preferences, relationships, and goals belong at the center.”

The details that matter
A principle is useful
only when it changes the day.
Individual review
Compatibility includes support needs, communication, health routines, environment, personal preferences, and the current household.
Authorization and availability
Admission also depends on the applicable referral or funding pathway, available space, and completion of required planning.
03
What to expect
From an idea to
everyday practice.
There are two different questions: whether someone is eligible for Regional Center services, and whether a particular residential home is an appropriate match. Dignity Living does not decide Regional Center eligibility.

Common questions
Helpful context,
without assumptions.
Can a family contact Dignity Living without a referral?＋
Yes. A family or representative can ask general questions directly, although a Regional Center coordinator may still be involved in formal planning or authorization.
Does referral guarantee a placement?＋
No. Referral begins a conversation and individualized review; it does not guarantee fit, availability, authorization, or admission.
Should records be uploaded through the contact form?＋
No. The public form is only for basic contact information and a brief, non-sensitive message.
