Bedrooms
In most units two clients share a bedroom. In some cases when it
is clinically indicated temporary arrangements can be made to
separate a client for their safety. Sleeping areas are assigned
based on gender, age and developmental ability. All sleeping rooms
have a door for privacy. Adequate drawer and closet space is
provided for each client to store their personal belongings. In
some units, personal care items are kept in a locked closet near
the client’s room to ensure their safety. Clients can access these
items whenever they choose by asking a staff member for
assistance. Clients are allowed to keep and display their personal
items such as posters, family pictures, alarm clocks, etc. Mirrors
are provided in each bedroom unless it presents a safety risk.
Clients who reside in our adult residences can purchase their own
bedroom furniture if they choose.
Restrooms
Each residence has at least one bathroom. Townhouses have two
bathrooms. Bathrooms have doors, which provide privacy, and only
one client is allowed in the bathroom at a time.
Dining Areas
Dining room areas are provided in each residence and are kept
clean and free of odors. Dining areas are designed to promote a
family style environment and social interaction during meal and
snack time. Clients have three scheduled meal times and two
scheduled snack times per day. Kitchen and dining areas are
located in each unit and are accessible to clients. Dining areas
are always supervised during meals and snacks.
