This form is intended to facilitate the referral process that you, as a professional, are undertaking on behalf of your client. If you are unsure of eligibility requirements, call RFS at 919-872-7933 to speak to an Intake Specialist. We cannot screen your clients through this form!

For the cost-share programs, your client must be a resident of Wake County, 18+ years of age, and have personal care needs, NOT just housekeeping/meal prep. An Intake specialist, at the above number, can assist you in screening your client if you are unsure whether yours would be an appropriate referral.

Please complete ALL information requested. NOTE: Due to state requirements, we now need additional demographic info to place clients on a waiting list. Please do not leave these fields blank! Incomplete referrals will not be processed.
