Services
Our services are person-centered and we use both restorative and compensatory training to improve the individual’s ability to function in all aspects of family and community life. Our services are oriented toward community re-integration and independence and are designed to give our clients the advantages and opportunities which can only be found in an individualized and stimulating environment. Each person’s individualized program is coordinated with our professional alliance team.
Because we believe the whole body plays a part in the healing process, recreational and physical activities at home and in the community are an important part of our program. We offer fun recreational activities as part of the rehabilitation process, utilizing river rafting, fishing, a walk in a park, a visit to a farmers market, attending car races and many other outdoor opportunities geared to the interests and ability of the resident.
