Heavens Hands Community Services Inc

Community habilitation services - our community habilitation program expanded service delivery to include individuals in the outer communities of brooklyn and queens. Through ongoing community outreach, individuals who have not typically been able to access supports because of their geographic location were better served. Additional resources were utilized to focus on recruitment of qualified staff who could serve these communities. Staff, supervisor and familiy members worked collaboratively to identify need areas and develop effective strategies to enhance consumer learning through the development of person centered community habilitation plans and services.

In-home respite services - our in-home respite services are support services which include assisting the family members to enable a person with developmental disabilities to stay at home, providing appropriate care and supervision to protect that person's safety in the absence of a family member, relieving family members from the constantly demanding responsibility of providing care and attending to basic self-help needs and other activities that would ordinarily be performed by the family member.
