Home and Community-Based Services
Home and Community-Based Services-Living and Inclusion:
OutFront JB Family Residential Care LLC. is very proud to be able to provide Home and Community-Based Services Supports to Persons with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities. What is Community Living Supports? OutFront, believes Community Living Supports are supports to individuals with disabilities, like individuals without disabilities, should have choice and self-determination in housing and in the health care and related support services they receive that should empower all Individuals to recognize and utilize their community more independently.
As we provide supports to Persons with Disabilities, our goal is to provide staff that can be teachers. As we assist those we support, we believe that they must do, and learn to do as much as they possibly can themselves. Our staff will assist them and teach them as they go through their daily lives and activities. If a person we support does not know how to dress or may have a physical challenge that makes it difficult, our staff will find ways to support them so they can learn how to dress appropriately. This is the same process for any of their everyday living activities.
Living in the Home and Community-Based Services and taking care of everyday living activities in our homes is not all there is to living in the community. Being an active member in the community also involves being active as a neighbor, a consumer, taking part in community activities, utilizing stores, public transportation, and services, finding friends and groups to participate in, and giving back by volunteering and serving in the community.
OutFront assists those we support in being active in the community by developing specific and individualized programs which allow them to be their own individual. All of us have similarities and differences. We all define ourselves based on what it is we like to do, our goals, wants, desires, and needs. Once we have explored these areas with the person, we then assist them in developing strategies and systems to realize these outcomes.
OutFront also recognizes the importance of appropriate, organized health and medical supports for people to live successfully in the community. We assist those we support by empowering them to pick their doctors and health care supports. We also assist them in any way they may need to assure these supports are in place and meet their needs.
OutFront 's goal is to teach those we support independence in all areas of their life, to teach them about their community, to assist them in utilizing their community and the support structures which are there for them as well as for all of us. In turn it will assist all people in the community to better understand each other and how we can all positively enhance each other’s lives.
