What Next Steps Concierge Will Do:
Identify open Next Steps beds at any 色中色 facility.
Work with you to smoothly manage the discharge and transfer process.
If no Next Steps beds are currently available, we will add your client to wait list and let you know as soon as a bed becomes available.
Please note: To make the process a smooth and swift as possible, we do not allow E&Ts to choose the specific 色中色 Next Steps program where clients will be placed. However, we always strive to place people as close to their home as possible. We do allow E&Ts to wait until a Next Steps bed opens in a specific location if that is preferable.
