At Davis Guest Home, you're part of the family.
We are a large community that includes multiple facilities and lots of resources, and we love to welcome individuals who meet our caregiver criteria into our homes.
Beyond Board & Care
Who Are Our Residents?
Davis Guest Home residents are mostly comprised of chronically mentally ill, conserved individuals from the Central and Northern California regions. Mental illnesses that are common to our resident population include schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, depressive disorders, etc.
Transitional Care
​
We operate four Transitional Care facilities that are licensed as Adult Residential Facilities (ARF) and also Residential Care for the Elderly (RCFE) facilities. Our transitional care facilities includes programs that offer step-down opportunities from locked facilities and higher-support environments. Also, folks that may be struggling in a lower-level of care facility may need benefit from the added support of our care. Transitional care focuses on meeting the needs of the resident while providing appropriate opportunities for community re-engagement both in and out of our homes. Varying levels of independence are possible in our transitional facilities. This is largely determined by the execution of their Service Plan by the individual, in cooperation with their county representatives and facility resources.
​
Enhanced Care
​
Additionally, we operate four Enhanced Care facilities that are licensed as Adult Residential Facilities (ARF) and also Residential Care for the Elderly (RCFE) facilities. Our Enhanced Care facilities includes programs that mirror the Transitional Care model, but with the added value of increased staffing ratios that include very seasoned staff that have the experience to provide more difficult appropriate behavioral and/or medical need interventions when necessary. Enhanced Care facilities may also offer a greater level of scrutiny with concern to access to the community. While these facilities remain unlocked, they are secured by attentive staff in managed environments.

​
How to Become a Resident?
Residents are referred to Davis Guest Home by their conserving county, which Davis Guest Home must have a contract with. We have contracts with over 30 counties, and always enjoy the opportunity to connect with counties outside of these in order to provide information and details about our services.
The Davis Guest Home administration team reviews each referral individually to attempt to determine if the referred client may be a good fit in placement into one of our homes and become part of our Davis Guest Home community. ​​​
Other Potential Resources
​At times, we are asked by families of a loved one that struggles with mental illness or a primary diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease, or that has a need for a nursing facility if their family member may live at Davis Guest Home. We are also frequently asked about homes for non-conserved individuals.
​
While we empathize greatly with people in each of these situations and desire to see their needs met, these individuals do not typically fit well into the types of Service Plans that define our current resident population which can lead to difficulties in their provision of care by us.
