Tuesday, September 8, 2020
Day Services is a time and/or place for people with disabilities who need support and training to find just that. Cardinal assists with daily living and work skills while creating a meaningful day for each person and helping them take steps to further their independence. There are a number of categories (designated by the state) which fall under Day Services:
- Facility Habilitation (life skills training that takes place in Cardinal Services’ classrooms)
- Residential Habilitation (life skills training that takes place in the person’s home)
- Pre-Vocational Work Services (learning job skills)
- PAC (one-on-one time in the community)
- DH1 (one-on-one time at Cardinal Services)
- Respite Services (takes place in the family home, giving family members time on their own)
- OBRA (personal and enriching time exclusively for people living in nursing homes, either at the nursing home or one-on-one in the community)
