An individual is typically referred to the program by a DDS (Department of Developmental Services) Service Coordinator. The individual must be at least 18 years old, qualify for DDS services, have a developmental disability, and possess a Mass Health Card for funding purposes. After the initial referral, the intake and admission team reviews the referral and determines whether the individual is appropriate for Day Habilitation or one of our other programs within the Center of Hope Foundation, Inc. Once accepted to the program an ISP (individual service plan) or ITP (individual transition plan) must be forwarded to the program, as well as any pertinent medical information. The individual should have a physical examination completed within one year of the start date and must have a negative TB (Mantoux) test completed within the year before the start date.
Each program is structured to support the specific needs of the individuals served. Our person-centered philosophy enables each individual to develop their own unique schedule of programmatic and community activities
All Day Habitation sites provide full-time nursing services. Each program has an RN nursing coverage for daily and PRN medication administration, external feedings, and basic or emergency first-aid. Collaboration with OT, PT, and Speech Therapy Consultants as well as our Clinical Department ensures optimal wellness for each program member.
The Admissions Department is readily available to provide tours and consultations for individuals, families, guardians, and home care providers interested in our Day Program Model. Please contact Chad Krause, CPO, at (508) 764-4085 ext. 643 or at CKrause@thecenterofhope.org.
