The beginning of this is what I actually do. The rest are examples.
I intern in a 24 Hour HealthCare Group Home with six clients; the youngest clients are in their twenty’s.
I have two supervisors and there are at least 12 Staff Members on the payroll at all times. There is a constant turnover of staff.
I intern in a 24 Hour HealthCare group homes for people with Intellectual Disability, known as Individualized Residential Alternatives IRAs provide individuals with a developmental disability the opportunity to live in a family-size group in residential communities. Once in care, these consumers have found a home for life. The facility Services provides residential care for more than six individuals.
Every day I am able to help each of the five males that live there to reach their fullest potential in life. Each of them suffers from a developmental disability that they were born with. I have learned that when you are born with a disability there are many people who say that “he or she will never be able to ….” because of that disability. Being an employee for Ability Beyond Disability has allowed me to help bring out their ability, regardless of their disability.
Working with these individuals has inspired me to continue my education and go to college to obtain my degree in social and behavioral science so that I can continue to help people with disabilities. Working with these guys has changed my perspective on life quite a bit. I have learned the difference between sympathy and empathy; I have learned that I should never take the simple things in life for granted because there are many people who do not have them or cannot do them. I am lucky enough to be able to help teach the people who cannot easily perform simple, everyday tasks to learn the skills they need to be able to master them. I have the privilege of taking the guys into the community and educating others who may not be aware of the disabilities that they possess.
Consumers range from being mildly Intellectually disabled to profoundly Intellectually disabled. Some consumers have physical handicaps, some struggle with behavioral disorders, others have significant medical conditions and some are dually diagnosed with mental illness as well as Intellectual Disability.
All residents are provided with services focused on continued skill acquisition in areas of self-help, socialization and use of recreational time. During the day, some residents participate in our community-based day habilitation programs; others attend school outside the home. In the evenings and on weekends, consumers participate in daily household activities, recreational outings and leisure activities appropriate to their ability level.
The consumers with intellectual disability and developmentally disabilities who are served in the CMS Residential Services program present a full spectrum of complex medical and behavioral health problems. In response, CMS provides a broad array of services that are provid ...
