The Process
The intake process, step by step.
We aim to make every placement straightforward — for the regional center, the family, and most importantly, the individual moving in.
Initial inquiry & needs discussion
Call us or fill out the contact form. We'll have a brief conversation about the individual's care needs, level of support required, and whether our home is a good match — no pressure, just an honest conversation.
Tour of the home
We invite the potential resident, their family, and/or the service coordinator to visit. Seeing the home in person — the spaces, the staff, the atmosphere — is the best way to know if it's the right fit.
Assessment & records review
We review the individual's IPP or care plan, current medications, physician documentation, and any relevant behavioral or medical history — ensuring we can fully meet their needs before a commitment is made.
Placement agreement & regional center coordination
Once a placement is confirmed, we coordinate directly with the regional center on authorization and documentation. The placement agreement is signed and all parties are aligned before move-in is scheduled.
Welcome & move-in with a personalized transition
We welcome every new resident thoughtfully — allowing time to settle in, personalizing their space, and establishing routines that feel comfortable. Families are encouraged to be part of the process.

What typically helps us prepare.
The items below are things that generally help us provide informed, continuous care from day one. Not all may apply — we'll walk through specifics together.

For Families
We know this decision matters deeply.
Choosing a residential care home for a loved one is one of the most important decisions a family can make. We don't take that lightly. When you reach out to us, you won't be handed a brochure — you'll speak with someone who genuinely cares, who will take the time to listen to your situation, answer your questions honestly, and help you decide whether Vibrant Life Home Care is the right place.
Transitions take time, and we plan for that. In the days and weeks after move-in, we pay close attention to how each new resident is settling in — adjusting routines, introducing them to the home's rhythm, and making sure they feel safe and comfortable. Families are welcome to be as involved as they'd like during this period. We believe a familiar face during the transition makes all the difference.
Once your loved one is settled, we encourage ongoing family involvement. You're always welcome to visit, join for a meal, or simply call to check in. You'll never be kept at arm's length. Our goal is to be a true partner to your family — not just a place where your loved one lives, but a community where they thrive. If you have any questions or just want to talk through the process, please reach out.
FAQ
Common questions about admissions.
Do you accept Regional Center placements?
Yes. We welcome placements from the Inland Regional Center (IRC) and work directly with service coordinators throughout the intake process. Please contact us to discuss current availability and to confirm that our home is an approved vendor [confirm vendor/provider status with IRC before publishing].
What types of disabilities do you serve?
We support adults with developmental disabilities — including intellectual disabilities, autism, and cerebral palsy — ages 18–59 who require 24-hour residential care. Our home is accessible and designed to accommodate residents with varied mobility needs. Every admission is assessed individually to ensure we can fully meet the person's needs. Please contact us to discuss a specific situation.
Is there awake staff overnight?
Yes. We provide 24-hour non-medical residential care with awake staff on duty at all times, including overnight. Residents are never left without a trained caregiver present.
Can families visit? How often?
Absolutely — family involvement is something we actively encourage. Families are welcome to visit, and we'll coordinate visit times to ensure they fit comfortably into the home's daily routine. We want family members to feel like they belong here too.
How do I check current availability?
The fastest way is to call us directly at (909) 649-3049. We can tell you immediately whether we have an opening and discuss whether our home is a match for the individual's needs. You can also use the contact form on our website and we'll respond promptly.
Are rooms private?
[Confirm room configuration — private vs. shared — and update this answer accordingly.] We encourage you to schedule a tour so you can see the space and get a feel for whether it's the right environment for your loved one or the person you're placing.
