Arundel Lodge is funded through three main sources: reimbursement from Medical Assistance and private insurers, government and private foundation grants, and private donations. Grants and donations are crucial for covering services not paid by insurance, such as 24-hour care, meals for Day Program participants, and treatment for the uninsured or underinsured. These funds also support operational costs, including building maintenance and the homes for residents in our Residential Rehabilitation Program. Additionally, they help expand programs like the Marcus Youth and Family Center for children and families and the Behavioral Health Urgent Care Center located at Luminis Health Anne Arundel Medical Center.

The process of being admitted to an RRP begins with the completion of an application by a mental health professional who is actively involved with the individual seeking services. This application must be filled out using the Statewide RRP application form, which ensures consistency across the state. Once completed, the application is submitted to the Core Service Agency (CSA) of the applicant’s county of origin. The CSA is responsible for managing public behavioral health services locally and coordinating access to various mental health resources.

Upon receipt of the application, the CSA reviews it to determine the applicant’s eligibility for RRP services and assesses the appropriate level of care required, which could be either Intensive or General. This assessment is based on the individual’s specific needs and current living situation. If the CSA identifies a suitable vacant bed within the county, they will refer the applicant to that particular RRP program. In the absence of a vacancy, the applicant is placed on a waiting list for the next available bed. The CSA regularly maintains and reviews these waiting lists to ensure timely placement. Additionally, if immediate placement in an RRP is not feasible, the CSA may suggest alternative services available within the public behavioral health system.

The priority for admission to an RRP is based on the level of care required and the applicant’s current status. Applicants who are transitioning from state hospitals and are ready for discharge are given the highest priority for intensive-level beds. If there are no state hospital discharges from the applicant’s county of origin, the CSA may consider applicants from other counties if they are willing to relocate. In cases where no state hospital discharges are available or willing to accept an intensive RRP placement, community applications from the county of origin may be considered for intensive-level beds.

For general-level care, any vacant bed is first prioritized for RRP residents currently in intensive-level beds who are appropriate for the lower level of care. If no residents are ready to transition from intensive to general-level beds, the CSA will then consider applications from the community waiting list for general-level placements. This process ensures that individuals are matched with the appropriate level of care and support, facilitating their transition to independent living while maintaining their well-being in a supportive environment.
