We are working to be person-centered.

We use the Personal Outcomes Measures to learn how to be person-centered and to measure our efforts. In doing so, we learn about our strengths and challenges in supporting people. We, in turn, are supported and accredited by the Council on Quality and Leadership.
Personal Outcomes Measures is a quality system which puts the individual first by seeking to identify their needs and priorities. It is about listening to service users and their families and providing support to individuals to help them achieve their goals. We provide supports in:-

Living
Working
Learning
Building Connections
Meeting People
Learning to Change

A summary of our services can be found on our services and supports page.
