Came to the ED on 8/27 after behaviors at home of head banging and screaming. Mom has refused to pick pt up thus far, wanting medications prescribed before she is willing to do so. Our psychiatrist has been trying to work with Mom on potential medication changes, but there has not been an agreement thus far. CPS has opened a case and is investigating, and Nexus YCT intake was yesterday. Patient is primarily non-verbal. Mom is reporting he needs residential treatment, but there is no professional recommendation for that at this time and due to age and autism diagnosis, options would be very limited. Mom has connected with Chelida in WI. Pt has DD waiver with in-home services, as well as Washburn ready to come out at discharge.

These homes are often designed to offer a stable environment for youth who may face challenges or need assistance, such as those in the foster care system or with behavioral issues. The corporate aspect indicates that it is managed by a business or organization rather than a government agency or non-profit.
