Home and Community Habilitation

Services designed to assist individuals with maximizing independence in their home and community. All services are provided on a one-one basis, with an emphasis on skill development. Services could include meal planning and preparation, social interaction in the community, household maintenance, money management and budgeting, and participation in social/leisure activities.

Life Skills Training

Rehabilitation Specialists and Assistants will assist individuals in maximizing their potential for independent living. All services are provided within the individual's residence to allow for greater transfer of skills. The focus of life skills activities is on the training of the skills and the process to follow in order to achieve the activities. Services are not designed to “do for the individual”, however to teach the individual the skills in order for them to “do for themselves”. Services are provided for only those activities in which the individual requires assistance.

Community Integration

Many individuals are often socially isolated and unable to access their community. Rehabilitation Specialists assist individuals with identifying areas of interests and becoming more aware of community activities. The focus of this service is to train individuals regarding the necessary steps in planning and completing different outings. Areas such as time management, costs and related considerations are discussed for each planned activity. Once in the community, appropriate social and communication skills are addressed. Potential outings could include dining out, attending medical appointments, volunteer work, shopping or visiting local venues.
