Community Connections
Community-based activities may be combined with other program supports to improve skills that will lead to a more independent, involved life for the person receiving services.
In-community supports may include:
- Making connections that build friendships
- Joining clubs or other organized group activities
- Becoming a volunteer at a community organization
- Participating in communal social gatherings
- Attending events
Services are based on each individual’s unique personal goals and designed to increase social experiences. Interactions help teach/improve communication skills and increase independence in public settings. Activities encourage building relationships in the community and the work place.
Settings of services vary based on the needs of individuals served. Hours and locations vary based on needs of individuals served.
Payment for community-based services is available through Medicaid Waivers. Persons approved for FSW, CIH, or Traumatic Brain Injury Waivers may ask that community-based services to be added to the waiver budget. Case managers will approve monthly allowances of hours and funds after meeting with the family, the recipient and Sycamore’s Service Coordinator. Private pay options are available for residential services. Please contact Sycamore Services for more information regarding fees.
