Mission

The mission of Woodward Resource Center (WRC) is to prepare and support individuals to live in the community of their choice. Discharge planning begins at admission.

Who is Eligible to Receive Services?

Individuals with intellectual disabilities and other related disabilities from throughout the state of Iowa are eligible. There are specific eligibility requirements for each type of service.

How to Apply for Services or Refer Someone to This Facility

If residential Intermediate Care Facility for Individuals with Intellectual Disability (ICF/ID) services may be needed, contact the assigned Managed Care Organization (MCO) for assistance in locating services. A thorough evaluation of needs and community-based alternatives must be completed by the MCO. If a decision is made to apply for WRC ICF/ID services, the application process begins by the MCO contacting Troy Kroeger at tkroege@dhs.state.ia.us or 515-322-3158.

The Iowa Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) is re-evaluating existing strategies and identifying new ones to enhance our commitment to ensuring individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities have access to the least restrictive setting to support high quality of life.
