San Diego

How does a San Diego ICF/DD home get a QIDP?

San Diego ICF/DD homes hire a contract QIDP by the hour. A free 15-minute call comes first, and the assignment follows it. The rate is a flat $90 per hour with a 10-hour minimum, and you pay the professional directly.

What shapes the QIDP role in San Diego

San Diego Regional Center serves San Diego County and Imperial County. Homes in the city of San Diego work with that office, and so do homes in the desert two hours east.

The county is wide. A home in North County and a home in South Bay can both be an hour from the same meeting. We plan the hours around that distance instead of pretending it is not there.

San Diego has a deep clinical labor market. Nurses, psychologists and social workers here often hold the year of direct experience the QIDP role requires, which widens the pool we can draw from.

On-site or remote in San Diego

We assign a local professional in San Diego first, so on-site visits are normally possible. For homes in the far east or far north of the service area, a mix of remote hours and planned site visits usually costs less.

We assign an experienced local QIDP first. Where none is available, the engagement runs remotely, unless you choose to cover travel costs.

Services

What can a contract QIDP do for your San Diego home?

Homes come to us at five different moments. Each one is scoped and quoted on its own, so you buy the hours the work needs and nothing else.

Each service is described in full on the main QIDP Consulting page.

Pricing

What does a QIDP cost in San Diego?

Flat $90* per hour, for every service and every engagement
  • 10-hour minimum engagement
  • 50 percent to start, 50 percent on completion, paid to your QIDP
  • Free 15-minute consultation before anything is quoted
  • Rate and estimated hours confirmed in writing before work begins
  • You pay the QIDP directly, as an independent contractor

* Discount available on longer engagements. Ask on the free 15-minute call.

We are a matching service. QIDP Consulting does not collect your fee and does not take a share of the hourly rate. The agreement and the payment are between your home and the professional.

How the hours are set

California sets the qualified professional service at 1.75 hours per client per week. In a six-bed home that is 10.5 hours a week. Read it as a floor. A San Diego home that is rebuilding records, or working through a plan of correction, normally needs more at the start and less once the systems hold.

DirectCare is our sister practice for the paperwork side of an ICF/DD home: program plan templates, attendant and medication training plans, and a document library you keep. Visit DirectCareHQ.com

Common questions

QIDP questions from San Diego owners

Does San Diego Regional Center cover Imperial County too?
Yes. San Diego Regional Center serves both San Diego and Imperial counties. We work with homes across that whole service area, on-site where a local professional is available and remotely where one is not.
How do you handle travel across San Diego County?
We agree it in the scope before work starts. On-site visits are planned rather than open-ended, and the record work that does not need a visit runs remotely. That keeps the hours on the plans instead of on the freeway.
What does a contract QIDP cost?
The rate is a flat $90 per hour, the same for every service and every scope. The minimum engagement is 10 hours. We put the rate and the estimated hours in writing before any work begins.
How does payment work?
You pay the QIDP directly. Standard terms are 50 percent at the start and 50 percent on completion. QIDP Consulting does not collect the fee and does not take a share of the hourly rate.
How is my QIDP assigned?
After the free 15-minute call, not before it. We match the assignment to the home, the residents and the work you described on that call.
