Twogether Consulting is happy to have Nicole Wilson, the CEO, and creator of an amazing app that will help both individuals and their guardians or family members as well as providers with finding placement in a residential setting and in tracking their progress.  This app is also for persons finding alternative placements besides ICF and HCS programs.  You may need placement for nursing home or assisted living or possibly personal care homes as well and much more. Nicole’s app also helps with connecting individuals and providers to necessary resources concerning placement and keeps all parties informed during the process. Nicole will discuss some of the solutions they offer providers of services as well as individuals seeking placement and how they can keep up with the progress of this placement process. This session may be of particular interest to those of you who are ICF or HCS providers or persons interested in providing host home/companion care services who may be looking for individuals who want to be placed in your home/s.
From Nicole: 
Why I created the App:
“In my 15 years as a Home and Community-based Services (HCS) provider, the question was, how could I make it easier for families to find quality homes for their loved ones, providers to display their resources, and caseworkers to access a network of providers? The answer came in the form of technology: an innovative app that could bridge the gap and facilitate connections within the mental health industry.
This app was designed to simplify the process of finding and accessing mental health resources. It allows families to find quality homes for their loved ones with just a few clicks, and providers and caseworkers to display their resources, access a provider network, and receive referrals conveniently.  The app bridges the gap between individuals, families, providers, and resources, effectively addressing the issues that once hampered the efficiency of Provider Fairs. Its design considers the diverse needs of its users, providing a solution that is not only convenient but also affordable.”
