California IDD
Compliance Software
Built for California providers. CareHub helps your organization meet DDS documentation standards, track waiver program requirements, and stay audit-ready.
DDS, Department of Developmental Services
California IDD services operate under the Lanterman Developmental Disabilities Services Act, administered by the Department of Developmental Services (DDS) through a network of 21 Regional Centers across the state. Regional Centers serve as the local point of contact for service coordination, authorization, and oversight. Residential facilities are separately licensed by Community Care Licensing (CCL) under the Department of Social Services.
California Waiver Programs
CareHub supports documentation requirements across California's HCBS waiver programs. Click any card to see how CareHub handles it.
What CareHub does
- Community-based service documentation captures location, activity, and outcome on each shift — what surveyors want to see for Home and Community Based Alternatives (HCBA) Waiver.
- Group activity logs cover one staff supporting multiple individuals without separate per-person rekeying.
- Travel and mileage capture rolls up into the monthly billing summary so reimbursement matches the service authorization.
What CareHub does
- Service-type catalog tuned to California so Self-Determination Program (SDP) services appear on every individual record, Service Delivery Record, and Monthly Progress Note.
- Daily notes, MAR, incidents, and the audit packet cover Self-Determination Program (SDP) documentation requirements out of the box.
- Quarterly reviews and BSP sign-offs match the signatures California regulators expect at audit.
