Services
Aspen runs four kinds of placement and one daytime program. Residential, host-home, respite, day program. People move between them as needs and goals change. All four are funded by Utah Medicaid HCBS waivers when authorized; private-pay is available where waiver coverage is not in place.
A single-family home shared with one to three roommates and round-the-clock staff. Each person has their own bedroom. Staff support medication, meals, transportation, finances, and the rhythms of an ordinary week. The most common placement type and the work we know best.
Read moreAn adult lives with a trained Professional Parent in a private family home. The right fit when group settings feel like too much, but living independently feels like too little. A long-term placement with deep continuity of care.
Read moreShort-term residential support for a night, a weekend, a hospital stay, a vacation, or a transition window. Reserved on a calendar, not a wait list. The shortest path into knowing whether Aspen is the right longer-term fit.
Read moreDaytime structure built around skill-building, community access, and supported employment. Coordinated with each resident's chosen weekly rhythm. Available to current Aspen residents and to community members whose evenings are covered elsewhere.
Read morePeople move through these services in different orders for different reasons. A graduating high schooler might start with day program and a few respite weekends, then transition into supportive living at age 22 when school exit pushes a residential decision. An aging parent might use respite for a hospital stay and then look at host home as a long-term answer. A resident who lives in supportive living for a decade might shift toward more independence and out of our homes entirely.
None of these is "more" or "less" than another. Each one is the right answer for a different combination of person, family, and life stage.
Utah's Division of Services for People with Disabilities (DSPD) administers Medicaid HCBS waivers, including the Community Supports Waiver. When a person is authorized for one of our services through their waiver, the waiver pays the cost. Families pay nothing additional for waiver-covered services. Where waiver coverage is not in place, we offer private-pay arrangements at published rates and will tell you the dollar amount before you sign anything.
The first call is short. We listen. No pressure.
