My daughter is lovingly cared for by staff who are always helpful.
BARC Developmental Services provides residential services to nearly one-hundred individuals in over thirty homes located throughout Bucks County and into Montgomery and Lehigh Counties. The needs of each individual are met through the team approach with all members of the team having value and importance, with the individual guiding the process. Individual’s needs are met through a variety of programs structured according to the requirements of each individual. Although we offer nursing supports for all individuals, we do not offer in-home twenty-four-hour nursing supports.
Residential supports include:
· Community Living Arrangement (CLA) homes offer varied levels of supervision. The focus is on the individual and their desires and strengths while developing strategies to work on the areas the individual wants and needs to improve upon.
· Intermediate Care Facilities (ICF/ID) provide more structured routines where active treatment is the focus. This concept involves the idea that every person can take part in every aspect of their daily routine with the level of assistance needed, up to and including physical guidance.
· Lifesharing services allow individuals to live with a family in the family’s home.
· Unlicensed Residential Habilitation supports are provided to individuals who live alone, or with a housemate or apartment-mate, and a Direct Support Professional assists them for less than 30 hours per week.
