Salem provides care in both Intermediate Care Facilities (ICF) and Community Care Facilities (CCF). Seven of our ICF homes are Habilitative Level, and one is Nursing Level. Our 13 CCF homes are Levels 2 through 4, with one specializing in memory care. The services we provide are for adults with a primary diagnosis of an intellectual or developmental disability. Some of our residents may have mental health diagnoses as a secondary condition.
To qualify for services at Salem, you must be approved by your Regional Center Service Coordinator for the level of services provided. While our residents do need to be clients of a regional center, some residents are clients of a different regional center and then transfer over to Inland Regional Center (for most of our homes) after moving into Salem.
When you apply, we can provide some basic guidance on Medi-Cal and Social Security forms and can connect you with community resources who are experts in this area. Your regional center service coordinator can also provide support.
Many of Salem’s residents attend jobs during the week or day programs that provide training in vocational and independent living skills. In addition to their weekday activities, the residents of Salem enjoy many outings. Some are weekly or monthly routines like choir practice, Sunday morning church services, community dances or bowling. Other activities are decided by each individual home. Outings include beach trips, baseball games, the county fair, the aquarium, and theme parks.
