Policies
Programs are available to all families and disabilities.
If a participant has a health, behavior, mobility, sensory, or other condition that requires prompt attention, it is expected that a PCA, caregiver, staff person or family member representing that individual be present with the participant for the duration of the program.
If supervision is needed for mobility in hallways, using bathroom, feeding issues, etc, it is expected that a PCA, caregiver, staff person or family member representing that individual assist with these cares.
We are open to talking with families and caregivers on an individual basis to determine level of care needed during programs offered if a participant is in an independent living situation or takes medical transportation to/from community events independently.
