Adult Residential Facilities (ARF)

Software for California ARFs and their Regional Center paperwork.

An ARF runs on the same med passes and licensing forms as any small home — plus a Regional Center that expects IPP progress, quarterly reports and incident reports on time. CareMAR puts both on the same client chart.

Regional Center placement, on the chart

Each client's Regional Center details live with the rest of their record, not in a separate binder.

  • UCI number, service level, service coordinator and vendor details for every client
  • A directory of the Regional Centers and coordinators you work with
  • Regional Center details captured as a step when you admit a new client

IPPs and monthly progress notes

Write the note against the goals on the IPP, sign it, and see what is due before it is late.

  • IPP goals recorded as written, with the next review date worked out from the IPP date
  • Overdue and coming-up IPP reviews listed on the Regional Center page
  • A monthly progress note with one line per IPP goal — where it stands and how the month went
  • Signed notes kept in a signature log that shows who signed and when

Quarterly reports to the Regional Center

The quarter's report starts from the monthly notes you already signed.

  • Quarterly progress reports prefilled from that quarter's signed notes
  • Print the report, then mark it sent so the next one comes due on schedule
  • Late and upcoming quarterlies listed for every client in one place

Special Incident Reports

Log the incident once. CareMAR keeps the reporting deadlines in front of you.

  • The phone-call and written-report deadlines counted from the time the incident occurred
  • A printable SIR you can email to the service coordinator or fax from CareMAR
  • A SIR log per client and for the whole home

Client cash (LIC 405)

A ledger for the money you hold for each client.

  • Deposits and withdrawals per client, with a running balance that cannot go below zero
  • A printable ledger for the client's file

Staff training

Know which staff are missing training before an analyst asks.

  • DSP year 1 and year 2 training tracked from each employee's hire date
  • First aid and CPR cards tracked with their expiry dates

The ARF licensing forms

Your chart shows the ARF form set, not the RCFE one.

  • An ARF-specific checklist of the forms each client's file needs
  • Upload the signed copy; CareMAR shows what is on file, missing or expiring
  • Unusual incident reports (LIC 624) faxed to licensing, with the fax shown before you send it

Also in every plan

  • eMAR and med pass for every client, with PRN tracking and refusals — the same MAR RCFEs use.
  • Caregiver portal. Staff sign in on any phone or tablet with a PIN — see the caregiver portal.
  • Fax, e-signature and family portal — the same tools every CareMAR home gets.
  • One price for every license type. An ARF pays what an RCFE pays — see pricing.
  • Running an ICF/DD-H or ICF/DD-N as well? See CareMAR for ICF/DD homes.

See it on a sample home first

The demo opens with an RCFE, an ARF, an ICF/DD-H and an ICF/DD-N home already filled in — switch between them from the home name. No payment information required.
