Community Habilitation & Respite

Community Habilitation

Community Habilitation is offered to the people we serve both in their homes and out in the community. Our Managers work with individuals on customized goals that assigned mentors then help them obtain. Some of these goals include focusing on skills in safety, socialization, money management, independent living, leisure and play. Through strong connections and bonds, our mentors help guide individuals towards achieving their goals in a safe and supportive setting.

Our mentors make participating in these services even more accessible through transporting the people we serve from their home to various places in the community to work on their individualized goals. Skill building provides both personal growth and fun experiences for the people we serve.

At Home Respite

A service provided in your home, our mentors provide some much needed rest and relaxation for our parents and providers while playing games, going outside, reading a book, watching a movie or anything that is a fun and entertaining activity. Parents and providers do not need to be at home during these activities which allows some time to get things accomplished outside the home. Respite is structured around how the mentor can help the individual in the home and give parents time for themselves. Respite services can be provided to children as young as 5-years-old up to adulthood.

Community-Respite

The purpose of community respite is similar to at home respite, except that the service is being provided out in the community with one’s mentor. The people we serve will often use community respite services to attend one of our many recreation programs including summer camp, fitness clubs, social groups and archery.
