Residential Services
The goals identified in therapeutic evaluations are often carried over into the residential program, to ensure that therapeutic principles are embedded into daily routines and to promote consistency across settings. Focus is placed on the improvement of functional living skills, the completion of daily routines, the attainment of individualized goals, the promotion of health and well-being, the exploration of personal talents, hobbies and interests, and fully accessing the surrounding local community.
Support is provided as necessary to achieve success with personal goals and domestic tasks, as well as with community experiences. Community access is an important component in the Adult Residential Program and individuals are encouraged to not only complete standard errands such as grocery shopping or going to the post office, but are also supported in exploring their personal interests, which might include going fishing, taking an art class, dining at a favorite restaurant, or attending a church service, theatrical performance or sports game.
