If you choose to work with a third-party referral company, chances are they won't have Dove Healthcare on their list of recommendations because we will not pay them for their referrals that can cost care centers like ours $3,000 - $5,000 per admitting referral. In our professional opinion, it is unethical to withhold options from vulnerable adults and their family members for the financial gain of the third-party referral company. Dove Healthcare happily helps every inquiry and referral free of charge and without discrimination. Contact us anytime for more information.

Dove Healthcare recommends contacting your county’s Aging & Disability Resource Center (ADRC). ADRCs are a neutral, free source of information on a variety of programs and services. There are no income requirements to utilize ADRC services and they assist anyone age 60 and over as well as adults age 18-59 with disabilities. Find your county's ADRC.

Our admissions coordinator will verify payer source and coverage details during the assessment process.
