Health history and current medications
Diagnoses, any hospital stays in the past year, and the current medication list with doses if you have it. A photo of the pill bottles is fine.
The process
Four steps. The pace is yours.
The only clock in this process is ours: Dr. Levy answers the first message within about one business day. After that, the person and the family set the pace.
1
Inquiry
Send a note through the contact form or email info@caresmithcorp.com. A sentence or two is enough. Dr. Suzanne Levy reads it herself and replies personally, usually within one business day. You will not be passed to an intake line.
2
Conversation
A phone or video call with Dr. Levy. She asks about health history, support needs, daily routines, and what a good day looks like for the person. Parents, guardians, and support coordinators are all welcome on the call. Funding and next steps are walked through here. If the fit is not right, this is where we say so.
3
Visit the home
Family, guardians, and support coordinators tour the house in Spring Hill and meet the team. The person who may live here is welcome to come. Ask to see the bedroom, the kitchen, the lanai. Come back a second time if that helps.
4
Placement plan
Before move-in, Dr. Levy writes a person-centered plan covering clinical oversight, behavior support, daily routine, and community goals. You read it and shape it. Move-in is scheduled around the person, not around a calendar.

Who we serve
A good fit, stated honestly.
Care Smith is a home for adults with developmental disabilities, licensed for up to six residents. Because the nurse is the one running the home, we can support individuals whose medical needs have made other placements difficult: several medications, chronic conditions that need active monitoring, health that changes from week to week.
We are not the right home for everyone, and we will not pretend to be. If the conversation tells us the person would be better served somewhere else, we tell you that, and we tell you why.

Before the call
What helps to have in mind.
None of this is required to start, and you do not need to send records before we talk. It simply makes the conversation more useful.
A support plan or behavior plan, if one exists
If the person has a written plan, have it nearby. If not, tell us what has worked and what has not. That is just as useful to us.
What a good day looks like
How they like to wake up. What they eat. What settles them when something goes wrong. Who they want to call. This is the part we listen to most closely.
For support coordinators and case managers
A clinician on the other end of the phone.
When you call, you reach Dr. Levy, a doctoral-prepared, board-certified nurse practitioner, not a front desk. Send what you have and it will be read before the conversation.

Questions families ask
Plain answers.
Do we need to bring records to the first call?
No. Tell us what you know. If you have a medication list or a support plan handy, it helps, but the first conversation is about the person, not the paperwork. Records come later, when it is clear we are a fit.
Can we visit more than once?
Yes. Many families want a first look on their own and a second visit with the person who may live here. Come at a mealtime if you want to see the kitchen in use.
Who will we meet?
Dr. Suzanne Levy, the founder and clinical administrator, and the Registered Nurse who serves as back-up operator. You will also meet the team who will be in the home day to day.
How do you handle the move-in and the transition?
Slowly, and around the person. The placement plan is finished before move-in, so routines, medications, and behavior support are known on day one. Short visits before the move help. Familiar bedding and belongings are welcome in the private bedroom.
What if it is not the right fit?
We tell you, usually during the conversation, and we tell you why. We would rather you spend your time on a home that can serve the person well than on a placement that is not right for them.
What about funding?
We walk through funding and next steps on the first call.
