Effective 2/1/19 REM Iowa will assume operations and the license of the ICF/ID unit at New Horizons and continue to provide support in the existing location pending approval by the Health Facilities Council and construction of the two new smaller homes. It is anticipated the relocation/transition will take place late fall/early winter of 2019.
According to IAC Chap. 77.37(14) e. (2) the following requirements have been met: This will not result in an overconcentration of community based ICF/ID homes in Linn County. The quantity of services currently available in Linn County is insufficient to meet the need. The housing available in Linn County is insufficient to meet the specific needs of this population.
The Mental Health/Disability Services of the East Central Region are supportive of REM Iowa opening these homes and filling this unmet need.
Sincerely,
Mechelle Dhondt, CEO MH/DS East Central Region
