How we provide support
Our direct support professionals (DSPs) are dedicated to providing essential, individualized assistance that empowers participants in all aspects of daily life. With a compassionate and person-centered approach, our DSPs work closely with each participant in our care to understand their unique needs, strengths, and goals. Whether assisting with daily routines, encouraging personal hygiene, or guiding residents through household tasks, our team ensures that each participant receives the care and support they need to thrive within a comfortable and secure home environment.
A key focus of our DSPs is to help participants develop and strengthen socialization skills, enabling them to form meaningful connections and navigate social situations with confidence. By fostering these skills, DSPs help participants build relationships within the home and community, enhancing their sense of belonging and self-worth. Tailored to each participants' abilities, our socialization support encourages participants to express themselves, engage in social activities, and enjoy fulfilling interactions with others in a safe, supportive setting.
By utilizing positive approaches, our DSPs help participants develop essential life skills, promoting independence and self-reliance. Our team celebrates each milestone, big or small, recognizing the progress participants make as they overcome challenges. By providing this steady, empowering guidance, we aim to instill a sense of autonomy and self-assurance, allowing participants to approach each day with confidence.
The support services provided in our residential group homes encompass various aspects of daily living, including personal care, medication management, meal planning and preparation, social and recreational activities, skills development, health monitoring, emotional support, and community integration.
