We provide Service Coordination to children and adults with
developmental disabilities, whether they live in a supervised residential
site or in traditional housing in the community.

   Within Service Coordination we offer assistance in gaining access to
needed waivers and state services as well as medical, education, social, 
and other services. We ensure that the services received correlate with 
the individual's preferences and changing needs.

   Our Habilitation Services provide support in shopping, budgeting, 
banking, housekeeping, meal planning and cooking, and socialization. 
Services are based on each person's need and requests and are offered
to clients whether they live in an agency site or private housing.

   Both Service Coordination and Habilitation Services are provided to
people with developmental disabilities so that they may remain 
independent in the community.

   Our six Community Residences located in different neighborhoods within
the Diocese of Rochester are each home to 10 to 12 people and staffed
with trained personnel 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

   Individualized Residential Alternatives are group living environments
similar to our community residences with staffing based on individual
needs.

   We provide Supportive Apartments for individuals who are able to live
somewhat independently in apartments.

   Our Family Care Services provide approved, structured, stable home
environments, which include the support, guidance, and companionship
that are found within a family unit.

A NOTE ABOUT OUR RESIDENTIAL PROGRAM

Any adult diagnosed with a developmental disability may be eligible for
services although our main focus is persons with mental retardation. We
ask that individuals in our residential services program be able to
communicate basic needs, have some daily living skills, and be in general
good health, needing no more than outpatient care. Our residential staff provides support in all areas of daily living, for example: health care,
service planning and recreation.
