Maple Star Colorado provides foster care to children from birth to age eighteen and also provides treatment foster care for clients who are medically fragile, developmentally delayed, sex offenders, involved in the juvenile justice system, behaviorally challenged, and in need of sibling support groups. The majority of children served by Maple Star are children who are school-aged with significant behavioral health needs. In addition, Maple Star provides foster/adopt services and private adoptions. Maple Star Colorado serves many children whose parents were arrested for drug involvement and provides emergency care for these children. Maple Star has several homes who work primarily with emergency placements, providing temporary stabilization for the children during this time of crisis. Maple Star focuses on providing healing environments for all children in their care, whether short or long term. This occurs when the foster parents remain calm and focused and allow the child to express their pain. Maple Star Colorado builds on a social integration model and its mission is to assist young people to achieve social integration and prepare them to live in a democratic society by serving as an alternative to institutional care and providing opportunities to live in family settings. This mission will be accomplished to the extent that we can assist young people in our care to move towards achieving appropriate outcome goals necessary to become an adult living in today’s society. Such goals may include active participation in the community, respecting the rights of others, the ability to gain employment and be self supporting, and to live in a healthy family system. Maple Star also provides the Virtual Residential Program (VRP ©™) to several counties located in the front range of Colorado’s Rocky Mountains. A to Z In-Home Tutoring (“A to Z”) provides effective, high-quality tutoring to students to improve their grades and their ability to learn. Many of our clients were born into poverty, and some were abused, neglected or abandoned. With the right inspiration and a little help on the academic front, these kids can quickly catch up in school, get ahead and develop the skills and self-esteem to be successful in life. Individualized programs are tailored to the unique needs of each child and services are offered in the client’s home, at their school or in the community. Upon completing the A to Z program, students typically acquire six new math skills and six new language arts skills. On average, student composite scores increase by 21% from pre-test to post-test scores. And parents love the A to Z program. In surveys of parents completed at the conclusion of every school year, A to Z receives very high marks year in and year out. Parents see improvements in areas such as: grades, behavior at school, attendance and self-esteem. Last year, A to Z’s parent satisfaction rate was 97%. A to Z was founded in Nashville, TN and provides tutoring to children in 22 states and Washington, DC. A to Z’s corporate office is located in Brentwood, TN. LogistiCare has been managing non-emergency medical (NEMT) and other social service transportation programs for government agencies and managed care organization (MCOs) since 1989. LogistiCare currently is the nation’s largest and most experienced manager of Medicaid NEMT programs for state governments and MCOs, providing over 17 million NEMT trips annually in 36 states and the District of Columbia. LogsitiCare has also managed other types of human service transportation programs such as ADA paratransit, school transportation, commercial ambulance, and elderly dial-a-ride services. LogistiCare pioneered what is known as the “brokerage” model for delivering transportation services. Under the brokerage model, the funding entity outsources the management of their transportation benefit to a professional transportation management company, usually under a full-risk capitated financial arrangement. LogistiCare’s consistent record of cost saving and service quality has been instrumental in the increasing adoption of the NEMT broker model by state Medicaid agencies and MCOs throughout the country.
