what guides our work?
|
two ways we do this workThroughout our 20 year history we have offered a variety of ways to support people, all rooted in the same guiding principles. At this point in time there are two distinct ways we serve people with disabilities and their families:
community living servicesSince we began, we have worked for people, one at a time, supporting them to establish the life they want to live. We partner with people and those who love them, as they learn how to plan for their future, establish a home for themselves; recruit, hire, and manage personal assistants; and establish a valued presence in the communities where they have chosen to live and work.
support coordination in njIndividuals who are on the Division of Developmental Disabilities Priority Waiting List, and who are eligible for the Community Care Waiver, are offered the option for self-direction known as Real Life Choices. Once people are eligible, they can contact us to support their effort. We support people in discovering and utilizing resources. We facilitate planning how people can use what is available to establish the life they want to live.
