Admissions
A thoughtful first step toward the right level of support.
You do not need to choose a program or level of care before reaching out.
Admissions begins with a conversation about the support you or someone you care about needs.
Wild Acre’s team considers current needs, existing supports, treatment history, goals, and readiness for different levels of independence to determine whether Wild Acre may be an appropriate fit and which care option offers the right balance of structure, support, and autonomy.
The goal is thoughtful placement, continuity of care, and a clear plan forward for the individual, family, and treatment team.
What to expect when you reach out
Admissions at Wild Acre is not simply an application to a specific program or residence. It is a clinical fit process.
Our team considers the whole person, including:
If Wild Acre appears to be a fit, the next steps may include additional information gathering, clinical review, placement recommendations, treatment planning, and transition coordination.
Working with families and existing care teams
Wild Acre believes continuity of care matters.
Whenever possible, our team collaborates with families, outpatient providers, psychiatrists, therapists, case managers, hospitals, and referral professionals to understand the full picture and support a thoughtful transition.
This collaborative approach helps create clearer expectations, stronger treatment alignment, and a plan of care that reflects the individual’s current needs and long-term goals.
Understanding the private-pay model
Wild Acre operates as a private-pay program and does not accept insurance.
Because levels of care and support are individualized, fees are discussed directly during the inquiry and admissions process. Costs vary based on program type, setting, and the level of clinical and residential support recommended for each individual.
Families may choose to seek out-of-network reimbursement independently. In these cases, Wild Acre can provide a limited statement of services; however, we are not able to provide the full clinical documentation typically required for insurance billing, such as diagnostic assessments or procedure coding.
We recognize that financial planning is an important part of the admissions process. Our team can walk families through program structure, anticipated level of care, and what is included within each residential setting so they can make informed decisions.
