Apply to Our Services

Verland accepts applications for admission from persons with a primary diagnosis of intellectual disability, autism, and developmental disability, as well as those with related conditions. People with such related conditions do not have a primary diagnosis of intellectual disability; rather, they have diagnoses of cerebral palsy, multiple sclerosis, closed head injury, brain injury, or other disabling conditions.

The majority of people living in Verland homes are usually funded by the United States government through its Medicaid Program, and there are certain financial criteria that determine eligibility. Verland is known for accepting individuals with the most challenging of conditions. If you or your family wish to discuss your needs and concerns regarding these matters, please contact Verland’s Social Worker, Marianne Blumenschein, at 412-741-2375 Ext. 1318 or mblumenschein@verland.org.

Verland maintains a waiting list for all persons desiring our services. Every effort is made to place people in a timely fashion, and careful consideration is given to assist families requiring immediate placement.

We are here to support you in any way possible, regardless of the time of your loved one’s admission. Whether or not we have an immediate opening at Verland, our dedicated staff will assist you by exploring every available option. Our role as a professional provider entails supporting families in their time of need, regardless of the outcome. Never doubt that we understand that our primary role is to be your ally.
