Road Map to Services
The Foothills Gateway “Road Map to Services” is simply a
guide to assist families and clients as they begin their journey into services
and supports through the Community Centered System. We highly recommend families contact
the intake case management department to learn more about each service and
support that is available.
Each service and support may have different eligibility
requirements, but the State of Colorado defines a cognitive/developmental disability
as “a disability that is
manifested before the person reaches age 22, which constitutes a substantial
disability to the affected individual, and is attributable to mental retardation
or related conditions, which include cerebral palsy, epilepsy, autism or other
neurological or adaptive behavior . . .” Once your eligibility has been determined by
a Community Centered Board
(such as Foothills Gateway) it can be transferred within the State of Colorado.
Case Managers actively coordinate and monitor
services and supports for clients and families receiving services through
Foothills Gateway and individuals waiting for services. Case Managers can assist with answering
questions you may have about services, referrals to community resources or
planning for the future.
It is the policy of Foothills Gateway, Inc. to allow families or individuals to
private pay for services. The services provided by FGI to private pay
individuals are no different than the services provided to individuals receiving
their services through government funding. FGI does not differentiate or provide
preferential treatment to our clients based on funding source. Private Pay
Services (PPS) do not take priority over other individuals needing the same
service. Accepting a person for private pay services indicates staff, physical
space and other accommodations are available for regular funded and private pay
individuals. All services provided by FGI will be available for private pay
individuals. Each request for private pay services will be considered
individually and approved after consideration of staffing and space capacity,
availability of appropriate services and need for monitoring, utilization, or
administrative support. If you are interested in Private Pay Services, please
contact a case manager for further information.
