By integrating technology, we are able to do our job more efficiently, which allows us to put the focus where it belongs- On the persons we support.

Our electronic system is web based and allows authorized family members, Support Coordinators and county and state officials to review a person's real time experiences.
Dignity
We create an environment where supported persons can voice their opinions and exercise control over their lives, and advocate for themselves. For example, supported persons take part in the selection of their homes and common area furniture when possible. Personal choice of supported persons can be seen in their bedroom decor, menu selection, and their house leisure and recreational activities. Each site also facilitates house or program meetings where persons in the program have a place to voice their opinions.

Community Inclusion
We define a high quality program by our ability to offer as many opportunities as possible to participate in the community. The persons we support are immersed in the community as much as they wish in an effort to create community connections leading to natural supports and feelings of belonging and worth.
