Frequently Asked
Questions

Iowa's Brain Injury (BI) waiver funds community-based services for adults with acquired or traumatic brain injuries who meet level-of-care criteria and require support to remain in the community rather than a nursing facility.

You will need a case manager or service coordinator referral and approval under the BI waiver. Our admissions team can help guide you through the process — call us at 515-441-1756 to get started.

SCL Daily provides ongoing supervised care throughout the day and is appropriate for individuals with more intensive support needs. SCL Hourly provides targeted support for specific tasks or hours of the day, offering more flexibility for individuals with lighter support requirements.
