Why is it important for my child to be placed on the Adult Services waiting lists when he turns 14? Or, if he has never been referred to North Metro, why the magic age of 14 for referral?
A North Metro Adult Services are available to our consumers beginning at age 18. So, if your child is on these adult waiting lists at 14, it is more likely that he will have moved closer to the top of the waiting list by the time he is 18. Q When my child is almost 14 and not on the North Metro waiting lists, should I ask his teacher either to refer him to North Metro or give me their phone number or a North Metro application for services to complete and send to this agency? A Yes! This is very important! Q Is it possible to “private pay” (using our personal income) to enroll my 21 year old in the Supported Living Services program so that he may attend one of your adult day programs? I would also like to tour North Metro’s Day Program. Is this possible? A Yes. You should contact the North Metro Day Program Coordinator at 303/457-1001 to discuss this possibility.
