Community Integrated Living Arrangement (CILA) provides adults living
with a developmental disability more enhanced supports than the Client &
Family Support program.
The 24-Hour Residential CILA Program is designed to allow individuals to
live in environments that are structured and supervised 24 hours per day,
but yet in neighborhood settings. Staff assist individuals in goals
that promote more independent living and community integration.
Some individual goals may include: shopping, preparing meals, doing
laundry, housekeeping, budgeting money, developing personal hobbies, and
becoming more involved in the community.
Children's Group Home
The Children's Group Home is for children in need of 24
hour supervision while allowing them to remain in a community environment.
Children in this program attend local schools and participate in community
activities.
Goals for the children in the program are similar lo
the goals in the adult programs. Teaching children to shop, do laundry,
housekeeping, and learning to budget money now will hopefully make for more
independent adults. A healthy staff to child ratio helps promote more one to
one assistance for the children as they learn to be more independent.
Strong family relationships are encouraged for the
children. Parents and guardians are welcomed into the home and activities
can be scheduled around family outings or visits. A nurse is always on call
for medical emergencies or medication needs.
