Youth came into our ED on 12/28 after altercation at hotel crisis respite. Was in this setting for approx 5 months, and prior to that was boarding in our ED from 5/28-7/3. Hotel crisis will not take her back. She has 4 different felony charges pending, awaiting a rule 20 assessment. Most placements including non secure corrections settings will not accept due to aggression. Team is working toward a single site CRS home, but that is a few weeks from being completed, waiting on provider’s waiver enrollment with DHS and finalized staffing. Last DA done a few weeks ago recommended GH with supports, and scored a level 5, however not pursuing treatment placement as all MN options have denied and pt was in RTC in Florida for 2 years previously.

Youth came into our ER on 12/2 after an episode of aggression at the Crisis Home. The crisis home will be willing to take them back in the future, but not until the other individual in the home has moved out, which won’t be taking place until end of January, They also want to have increased staffing and put rights restrictions into place. It will be almost 2 months before that can happen. Looking for an interim plan for them. Pt is open to waiver, has mild intellectual disability. Also has CMH, but treatment placements are not being explored as pt has been to those in the past (Northwood, Chelida, and Grafton) and more recently treatment placements have all denied them, so primarily looking at waiver paid placements.
