Daily Living Skills
In our Supported Community Living (SCL) program, we help individuals gain skills, confidence and connection to community. We offer support in areas ranging from planning meals, to calling the doctor, to finding a place to live.
We tailor our services to each individual's strengths and needs. Our highly trained staff members focus on helping clients learn to do things for themselves and achieve independence.
How it works
When we first meet with a client, we discuss the many types of assistance we offer (see below), while spending some time getting to know him or her. Then, with input from the client and others such as family members or a case manager, we create a plan that outlines the client's unique goals. From time to time, we revisit this plan to make sure we’re helping the client reach those goals.
Some of the common areas in which we provide support are:
Money management
- balancing a checkbook
- setting up and following a budget
- making purchasing decisions
- managing debt
- paying bills on time
Household management
- finding a place to live
- planning menus and shopping
- cooking and doing laundry
- setting up cleaning schedules
- learning home safety and maintenance
Healthy living
- taking care of special health needs like restricted diets
- making and keeping appointments
- communicating health concerns with medical professionals
- learning how to take medications
- making healthy choices
Recreation/community
- getting involved in community activities
- nurturing hobbies and areas of interest
- learning computer skills like using e-mail and the Internet
