To Our Referring Agency Partners:
Thank you for referring your client/member to the Homestead/Homestead North
Program. We’ve tried to make our intake packet materials as user-friendly and
streamlined as possible while adhering to the mandated rules and regulations that we
must follow.
While we would ideally like parents/guardians to accompany the child to the intake, we
understand that is not always possible. If you cannot arrange for the parent/guardian to
be present at our facility at intake, please note the list of items on our “Documents
Required at Admission” page that we must have before the client is transported to
Homestead/Homestead North.
We look forward to working with you and other members of the Child and Family Team
as we progress toward returning the child to his or her home community with greater
supports, skills and strengths in place.
Please don’t hesitate to contact me if there is anything I can do to assist you in making
this process go more smoothly, or at any other time I can be of assistance.
Sincerely,
Brad Waters
Homestead/Homestead North Program Director

I understand that there is no guarantee that these treatment services will prove beneficial to me.
3.
I have been advised that should medications be prescribed or administered, that such medications may or may
not be effective and, in a small number of situations, I may have an adverse reaction to such medication. Any
medication issues will be discussed with me prior to prescription or administration, or changes.
4.
Additionally, the following has been specifically explained to me:

The specific treatment being proposed;

The intended outcome;

The nature and procedures of the proposed treatment;

Any risks and side effects of the proposed treatment, including any risks of not proceeding with the
proposed treatment; and,

That consent is voluntary (unless under court ordered treatment) and such consent may be withdrawn or
withheld at any time.
5.
Even though all information gathered in the course of my relationship with the CPES Homestead program is
confidential, this confidentiality is not absolute. In the cases of medical emergency, child abuse or neglect,
court order, or where otherwise legally required, essential information may be released.
6.
I agree to collaborate in the treatment planning process to the best of my ability.

all cases of referral elsewhere, CPES will make every effort to facilitate continuity of care.

CPES BH POLICY AND PROCEDURE MANUAL
POLICY TITLE:
10.02 Grievances and Complaints
RULE NUMBER:
R9-20-201(B)(1)(c)
PURPOSE:
To communicate to CPES staff members and employees the steps required for a client
to file a grievance and/or complaint against CPES.
POLICY STATEMENT:
All clients receiving services through CPES have the right to use the process set forth in
this policy to appeal decisions regarding services applied for or received. The CPES
formal grievances policy follows procedures as set forth in local T/RBHA “ADHS Division
of Behavioral Health Services Notice of Grievance and Appeal Procedure.”
PROCEDURES:
A. Clients must be informed of this policy and of the policy on ‘Client Rights’ at the time
of initial intake. A person who wishes to express a concern or grievance regarding
CPES or its services may do so either through an informal or formal process and
both verbal and written grievances will be accepted. Grievances can be filed on
behalf of the CPES client, or if applicable by family members, significant others, or
client advocates.
B. CPES will not discharge or discriminate in any way against any client by whom or on
whose behalf a complaint has been submitted or who has participated in a complaint
investigation process.
C. Informal Process – The informal process at CPES must not exceed five (5) calendar
days and will begin with a discussion between the appropriate supervisory chain of
command and the client. At that time the matter should be documented by stating
the nature of the complaint and the desired outcome in writing and date-stamp the
complaint/grievance. If the problem cannot be resolved at this level, the next level
should be notified. If there is still no resolution, the appropriate Director level staff
will be called upon to help resolve the problem. At the end of the allotted time, if
there is no acceptable resolution, the informal complaint will automatically enter the
formal process. The client will be referred to the following section.
D. Formal Process – Grievances may be filed no later than one (1) year after the date
of the alleged rights violation or condition requiring investigation. ISP/Treatment
Plan appeals must be no later than 60 days of the decision or action being appealed.
Steps for the formal process are:
1. Request the Grievance Report Form from any administrative employee.

3. The administrative employee will provide a copy for the client and submit the
original to the supervisor with a copy to appropriate CPES administrative staff.
4. The supervisor will contact the client within five (5) work days to gather more
information and work on resolution. The supervisor will document the results of
that initial contact on a Grievance Report Form and copy appropriate CPES

5. If there was no resolution with the contact by the supervisor, administrative staff
will contact the client within ten (10) days.
6. Administrative staff will set an Initial Complaint Meeting for within fifteen (15)
days of receiving the Grievance Report Form. The Initial Complaint Meeting will
focus on reaching an optimal resolution to the client’s complaint.
7. The results of the Initial Complaint Meeting will be documented on the Grievance
Report Form. A copy will be given to the client and the original document will be
maintained at the administrative office.
8. If the Initial Complaint Meeting has satisfactorily resolved the client’s complaint,
the client should indicate his/her satisfaction on the Grievance Report Form.
9. In some cases the client may wish to by-pass the Initial Complaint Meeting
process and file their grievance directly with the DBHS Office of Grievance and
Appeals. In that case, they should indicate that intent on the Grievance Report
Form.
10. Any client may file a complaint at any time with:
ADHS/DBHS Office of Behavioral Health

CPES Specialized Residential SMI Grievances
PM ATTACHMENT 5.5.1
ADHS/DBHS NOTICE OF SMI GRIEVANCE AND APPEAL PROCEDURE
It is the philosophy of the Arizona Department of Health Services, Division of Behavioral Health Services (ADHS/DBHS)
to provide state residents with timely access to appropriate, and effective behavioral health care. Services are provided
through the Regional Behavioral Health Authority (RBHA) or Tribal Regional Behavioral Health Authority (TRBHA).
Should you need to request an investigation, file an SMI grievance, or file an appeal, the following process is followed.
SMI GRIEVANCE/REQUEST FOR INVESTIGATION/
Any person may file an SMI grievance or request an investigation regarding any act or omission of ADHS/DBHS, the
Arizona State Hospital, the T/RBHA, or one of its providers, alleging that a rights violation or a condition requiring
investigation has occurred or currently exists. (Please note: allegations about the need for, or appropriateness of
behavioral health services should not be considered an SMI grievance, but should be addressed through the appeal
process described below.) The request may be verbal or written and must be initiated no later than one year after the date
of the alleged rights violation or condition requiring investigation. Forms for filing are available at ADHS/DBHS, the
Arizona State Hospital, the T/RBHAs, case management sites and at all provider sites.
All SMI grievances/requests for investigation must be filed with the appropriate RBHA. Allegation of rights violation by a
TRBHA or their providers or SMI grievances/requests for investigation related to physical or sexual abuse will be
addressed by ADHS/DBHS. SMI grievances/requests for investigations on such issues may be filed with the RBHA to be
forwarded to ADHS/DBHS or may be filed directly in writing with ADHS/DBHS at 150 North 18th Avenue, Suite 210,
Phoenix, Arizona 85007, or orally, by calling (602) 364-4591. Within 7 days of the date received, you will be sent an
acknowledgment letter and, if appropriate, an investigator will be assigned to research the matter. When a decision is
reached, you will receive a written response.
APPEAL
Any person, age 18 or older, his or her guardian, or designated representative, may file an appeal related to services
applied for, or services the person is receiving. Matters of appeal are generally related to a denial of services; disagreement
with the findings of an evaluation or assessment; any part of the Individual Service Plan; the Individual Treatment and
Discharge Plan; recommended services or actual services provided; barriers or unreasonable delay in accessing services
under Title XIX; and fee assessments. Appeals must be filed with the RBHA or ADHS/DBHS for the TRBHA and must be
initiated no later than 60 days after the decision or action being appealed. Appeal forms are available at ADHS/DBHS, the
T/RBHAs, case management sites and at all provider sites.
The RBHA or ADHS/DBHS (for TRBHA appeals) will attempt to resolve all appeals within seven days through an
informal process. If the problem cannot be resolved, the matter will be forwarded to ADHS/DBHS for further appeal. If
the RBHA will not accept your appeal or dismisses your appeal without consideration, you may request an Administrative
Review by ADHS/DBHS of that decision.
For SMI grievances/requests for investigation and appeals, to the greatest extent possible, please include:
1. Name of person filing the SMI grievance/request for investigation or appeal
2. Name of the person receiving services, if different.
3. Mailing address and phone number.
4. Date of issue being appealed or incident requiring investigation.
5. Brief description of issue or incident.
6. Resolution or solution desired.
For either process above, you may represent yourself, designate a representative, or use legal counsel. You may contact the
State Protection and Advocacy System, the Arizona Center for Disability Law 1-800-922-1447 in Tucson and 1-800-9272260 in Phoenix. You may also contact the Office of Human Rights at 1-800-421-2124 for assistance. If your complaint
relates to a licensed behavioral health agency, you may contact the Office of Behavioral Health Licensure, 150 N. 18th
Avenue, Phoenix, Arizona 85007, (602) 364-2595.

participation will be documented in my medical record. I have been informed of the potential
consequences of my revocation of informed consent to treatment.
I understand that my privacy and confidentiality will be protected. I also understand that the likelihood

remote site.
I understand that the health care providers at both my location and the remote video site will have access
to any relevant medical information about me including any psychiatric and/or psychological
information, alcohol and/or drug abuse, and mental health records.
