What Makes Us Different
The Sponsored Homes program trains potential caregivers to provide Medicaid and DBHDS compliant residential services in a Sponsored Home setting, including training in medication assistance, first aid, crisis intervention, and human rights. We also inspect and supervise the homes providing services and provide regular oversight by QDDPs once an Individual is admitted to the program. Our team strives to assure each Individual accepted is able to live in the home that best serves their needs, desires, and fully promotes their integration into the community. All staff, Sponsors, and Substitute care providers are subject to full background checks and regular reviews.
Our Impact

True Stories
“God bless them, The Up Center really came along just at the perfect time. The Up Center provides so much for me and Billy – they are professionals, they know about communications systems, behavior management, and teach me how to act and react in a crisis situation. I have people I can turn to no matter what the problem.”
—Bill C., parent of adult son with autism
