 Hope
Homes is an advocate for people with developmental disabilities and
other special needs who may experience difficulty in as self-care,
language, mobility, learning, self-direction, independent living or
self-sufficiency. Our care plans begin by placing our clients at the
center of a resource network so that they can achieve a satisfying
way of life.
We realize
the importance of planning for ourselves - setting goals and taking
the steps necessary for achieving them. We do the same thing for
clients. Persons with developmental disabilities are encouraged to
be involved in developing their own individual service plan. Hope
Homes believes that best individualized plans are inclusive and are
designed in relationship with family, friends, human service
agencies, government, churches, and communities. Person centered
planning is designed to give each person choices and the flexibility
to meet their own unique needs.
 An
assessment aids the person and family in logically thinking through
the life planning process. In some instances the individual may have
a specific need. For example, the need may be to provide trained
staff to teach various skills within the home, such as meal
preparation, laundry or improving self help skills. Other
individuals may want to establish a more comprehensive individual
service plan.
The
individual and/or family may choose to complete this process with
the assistance of Hope Homes. The role of Hope Homes will vary
depending on the request of the person and/or family members and
other relationships.
Traditionally, civic, governmental, and faith communities have been
partners in health and human services. Hope Homes collaborates with
programs whose primary purpose is to provide care, housing,
assistance and advocacy. We believe that individuals are best served
when they are able to benefit by their own personal relationships
and the relationships that the community can cooperatively offer to
provide supports. Here are some examples of our relationships and
cooperative resources:
