Elm City Opens Group Home for JDC
residents After a long planning and remodeling
phase, Elm City has opened a 24 hour CILA for four gentlemen who previously
lived at Jacksonville Developmental Center. The home offers around the clock
assistance in a great neighborhood plus case management services. All four
men lived in Jacksonville for several years and have attended the ECC day
programs. We worked closely with parents and guardians in developing the
home. It was a duplex home that we converted back into a single home with
four bedrooms and four full bathrooms. Services are being coordinated with
as many local professional providers as possible. All remodeling was completed
through the work of local Jacksonville contractors. This is the second
residential home we have developed. We have operated a 6 bed group home
funded through DHS/DMH for many years. As the closure of JDC developed
we decided to step into the DDD residential business. By the end of 2012 we
have purchased two
more homes and our plan is for two more in the coming year. We have taken slow
steps to develop these services as the state has announced plans to close
Jacksonville Developmental Center, Murray Developmental Center in Centralia
during 2013, and extended plans to close all State
Operated Developmental Centers (SODCs) by 2015. After many years
concentrating on our production, this is a major change in our operation. |
