Community Based Day Support Outreach Services are designed to serve the needs of persons with a developmental and / or physical disability who do not reside within Resicare owned facilities. Referrals must be received through Persons with Developmental Disabilities (PDD), sent directly to the Director of Operations or the Executive Director.

All referrals will be considered and if appropriate, intake will proceed.

Community Based Day Support Outreach Services are based on consideration of client need and interest and available resources.

As a responsive service, Resicare will make adjustments to accommodate a client’s changing needs and interests. However, the Agency recognizes that a client’s needs will evolve, and the Agency may no longer be able to provide service, or the client may choose other alternatives.

Community-Based Day Support Outreach Services offer an array of options which include, but are not limited to:

• planning with clients regarding day-time placements
  
  
• providing support for access to these placements and activities, which may involve: volunteer placements, recreational activities, educational pursuits and/or paid employment
  
  
• coordinating individualized planning, follow-up and review
  
  
• transitional support
  
  
• career counselling
  
  
• liaison with community services
  
  
• assisting with medical, financial, transportation and other needs and completion of documentation requirements in conjunction with Resicare’s Residential and Day Support Services and/or others
