New serviceAccepting CFS referrals through RCEB and GGRC

One service that supports the whole family.

Coordinated Family Support (CFS) is a new Regional Center service for adults with developmental disabilities who live with family. bttr Living helps your family organize appointments, benefits, providers, and routines, so life at home feels clearer and calmer.

CFS in plain words.

Most families are hearing about CFS for the first time. Here is what it actually means for your home.

One person

One coordinator for the whole household

Instead of the family chasing everything on their own, a bttr support professional helps keep it all organized in one place.

One plan

Appointments, benefits, and paperwork, in order

We help with reminders, renewal dates, notices, forms, and communication with providers and systems like IHSS, SSI, and Medi Cal.

One home

Calmer routines and clear next steps

The family knows what is happening, what comes next, and who to call. Supporting an adult at home stops feeling like a second full time job.

New program. Simple to check.

Eligibility comes down to three things. Tap each one that applies to your family.

Does CFS fit your family?

Check all three and CFS is likely a fit. The Regional Center confirms eligibility and authorizes services through the IPP.
