Day Support Services (DSS)

Our DSS program supports and respects the personal choices of participants not to work provding each person with meaningful options for individual and group activities. These activities are designed to maintain essential and personally enriching life skill so participants can access and participate in activities they prefer in their community.

Each participant has an individualized support plan that outlines the desired outcomes for each individual.  Our intent is to provide the best experiences through kind and compassionate care according to participant's needs.

• To assist participants in maintaining and/or improving their independence by providing enriching and stimulating activities that meets their individualized mental, physical, emotional and spiritual needs.

• To staff our program with caring individuals who desire to enrich the lives of those we serve.

• To continue to do all that we can to provide services that are both beneficial and convenient for our clients, by offering door-to-door transportation, frequent community outings, snacks, community based activities, personal hygiene assistance, licensed physical therapy programs, and a high level of socialization. Nutritious in-house meals may be included for those on waivered services and pre-registered. Otherwise cost per meal is $4.50.
