Lifehouse's four training homes provide an educational environment for adults (over age 18) with mild or moderate developmental disabilities to develop the necessary skills required for independent living within a community. Each house accommodates six individuals and is licensed by the Department of Social Services, Community Care Division. Between the hours of 9 a.m. and 3 p.m., clients either work in the community or participate in a job training or volunteer program or other structured setting. Staff sleeps overnight at the home and are present at all times when clients are at home. As part of the independent living skills program, each client works with their team to develop an individual and comprehensive program plan for fulfilling their goal toward independence. The team generally consists of the Lifehouse staff, the Regional Center counselor, the client’s family and friends, and a job coach or vocational counselor. Training can focus on areas including mobility, food preparation, shopping for groceries and personal needs, budgeting and banking, clothing care, medication and health needs, housekeeping and socialization. Training is done in the homes as well as in everyday settings such as banks, supermarkets, department stores, government offices, and buses. |
