Exhibit XII Bed Hold.pdf

This document is a Congregate Care Bed Hold Authorization form issued by the Arizona Department of Child Safety (DCS). The form is designed for contractors providing congregate care services to request a bed hold for a child who is temporarily absent from the facility due to various circumstances such as being AWOL, hospitalization, detention, or an extended visit.

The form allows contractors to request bed holds for up to 7 days with approval from the Statewide Placement Program Manager, or up to 14 days with approval from the Statewide Placement Program Administrator. The document requires specific details about the child, including name, personal identification number (PID), and the reason for the bed hold. Completed forms can be submitted electronically to BedHold@azdcs.gov. The purpose of the bed hold is to maintain the child's placement in the congregate care facility during temporary absences, ensuring continuity of care and placement stability.
