Community Based Housing
These programs are designed to help the client
integrate into the community by helping them gain independence, manage
their illness, and learn to utilize community resources. Residents are
provided the opportunity to participate in activities of daily living
skills and independence. Opportunities are also provided for community,
cultural, recreational and spiritual activities. Every effort is made
to help the individual secure resources to enable him to live
independently. Coordination with outside providers (i.e. schools,
doctors, employers, and other community agencies) is maintained to
assure quality of service.
Community Housing provides opportunities to
participate in activities that would typically be found in a home.
Residents have adequate personal space for privacy and are encouraged to
have their own possessions and decorations. They have daily access to
nutritious meals and are encouraged to take increasing responsibility
for the cooperative operation of the household.
All Red Rock housing facilities meet all local and
state safety ordinances. Staff is available to all tenants 24 hours a
day to address any concerns.
The philosophy of the program is that with
support, persons with mental and/or other challenges can become stable
in the community, maximize their abilities, and achieve a higher level
of functioning and a better quality of life.
Community based housing is available for clients
of Red Rock Main, Red Rock North, Clinton and El Reno.
An average of more than 20% of residents showed
measurable improvement in their ability to meet basic needs each quarter
of FY05.
