HEALTH RELATED SERVICES PROGRAM
Developing Daily Living Skills & New Friendships
Our Health Related Services (HRS) program is customized for individuals with restricted health conditions, as well as developmental disabilities. HRS provides Activities of Daily Living (ADL) skills development, social interaction, leisure activities, sensory stimulation activities, and community integration. Each program component is individualized so persons served with varied physical abilities can participate. ADL personalized skill training can include learning to write one's name, feeding oneself, and habit training for toileting. A cooking class on buying and preparing simple foods is offered, as are available volunteer opportunities. Many HRS persons served are nonverbal and communicate through sounds and eye contact. The HRS staff is sensitive to each person's served communication method, enabling understanding of emotional, physical and activity needs.
Other HRS activities include arts and crafts, music appreciation, story time, and adaptive games. Community integration is an extremely important component of a person's served social well-being. Planned community activities expose persons served to new experiences and new friends beyond the HRS program.
The HRS exercise/sensory stimulation component also varies by persons served. Persons served may utilize an adaptive swing, play parachute with other persons served, and enjoy rest in a reclining rocker. We provide passive ROM (Range of Motion) to our persons served.
The HRS program is six hours per day (8:00 AM-2:00 PM), with staff to persons served ratios of 1:1 or 1:2. Nursing staff include Licensed Vocational Nurses (LVNs) / Licensed Psychiatric Nurses (LPTs), and a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) who ensure person's served nursing needs are addressed, including providing assistance with gastrostomy tube feedings, urinary catheterization, blood sugar checks with insulin administration, colostomy care, seizure management, and medication administration.
