How to Apply for Residency

At Empowered Living Solutions, we are committed to providing a smooth and supportive process for those interested in applying for residency at our homes. Here’s how you can begin the journey:

  • Get Your Support Needs Assessed:

  • If you or a loved one may qualify for Medicaid services in Montana, the first step is to have your support needs assessed. You can start the process by contacting Mountain-Pacific Quality Health at (406) 443-4020, which handles Montana Medicaid Utilization Reviews. They will assess your eligibility for Medicaid waiver programs, such as the Severe Disabling Mental Illness (SDMI) Waiver or the Developmental Disabilities Program (DDP).

  • For Residents Being Discharged from Montana State Hospital:

    • If you are being discharged from the Montana State Hospital, you may also qualify for residency at one of our homes. The same process applies: contact Mountain-Pacific Quality Health to schedule your Medicaid Utilization Review.

  • Waiver Recipients and Waiting List Candidates:

    • Empowered Living Solutions accepts residents who have already received waiver benefits as well as those who are currently on the waiting list for waiver services. If you qualify for Medicaid support, our team will work with you to ensure a smooth transition into one of our homes.
