In the event that more intensive services are required, we offer 1 staff to 1 consumer. The staff members are responsible for being within arms reach of the consumer at all times of their shift. The living units are locked and secured from the outside to ensure that no outsiders will intrude. The staff supervises and engages with the consumer consistently during activities. The living units are designed to feel as though the consumers are in the comfort of their own home. The units consist of a living room area, a kitchen, consumer bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. The consumers are allowed to add safe things to their rooms to make them feel more comfortable. Residential staff along with the dietary staff provides the proper nutrition for the consumers.
