The day and residential services program embraces natural, community-based settings, participant services are shaped around the unique needs of the individual and their family. By providing assistance with daily tasks on an as-needed basis, day and residential services participants live with a family member, roommate, independently, or in a staffed residence. By empowering participants to create their own life plans, make life decisions, and openly contribute to their Community Bridges partnership, we allow each participant to be in full control of their life. Individuals in Community Bridges' Day and residential services receive guidance from direct support staff whose roles are to encourage participants to live their lives as independently as possible. Each staff member is screened, interviewed, and selected based on compatibility factors. Director support staff members are trained to encourage participants to develop relationships within the community, allowing individuals to become comfortable in their social setting. With the help of direct support staff, individuals and their families have the ability to connect to service providers in the community who best fit their needs.
