Residential Services
Provided

ABLE Residential currently focuses on providing services through host homes using independent contractors, alternative settings will be explored as requested and needed.

Placement Process

When ABLE Residential recieves a request to find a home for an individual, our first step is to learn as much as possible about the person. A long-term placemnet is more likely to occure when a proper match is made between the individual and the host home provider. Some of the factors considered when looking for a match are:

• Do the host home provider and person looking for services have a similar activity level.
• Can the host home provider support the individual's needs.
• Do they like similar activites
• Are the personalities of host home provider and person looking for services compatible.
• Could the placemnet be long term.

Staff Training

ABLE Residential requires employees who work directly with people to attend at least twenty four hours of training annually. Employees working directly with people in services must have CPR, First Aid, Behavior Intervention, Incident Report training, MANE, Rights, Confidentiality, CPI, HIPAA and Medication administration (if necessary) prior to working alone.
