The current capacity of the facility is 134.  AHDC is routinely serving 120 residents and frequent placements for emergency respite care services.  All have a primary diagnosis of mental retardation but the facility has expanded to provide more placement/services to adults who are dually diagnosed with both mental retardation and mental illness.  Currently 60% of the population has a dual diagnosis.  Ninety-seven per cent of the people receiving services are in the severe to profound range of mental retardation.  AHDC no longer provides services to school age children.  The facility accepts admissions and respite placements of people eighteen years of age or over who have graduated from high school or have a certificate of completion from public school.  While there is no upper age limit, the focus of this facility is on providing a transitional placement for adults who are able to develop vocational skills, obtain employment and move through the DDS continuum of services to eventually secure living and working arrangements in the community.  This is accomplished through the Medicaid Waiver Program and partnerships with community providers, such as the Rainbow of Challenges in Hope.  Through a cooperative agreement AHDC and Rainbow of Challenges enabled four Center resident to purchase their own homes in the community.  Each person chose to have someone share their home, so a total of eight people moved into new homes in Caddo Valley in 2003.  The two groups continue to partner on a planned work site in the community, through a Governor's Developmental Disabilities Planning Council grant, and continue to make future plans for other less restrictive living arrangements.
