Day Habilitation
Day habilitation services focus on skill development and engagement in meaningful activities throughout the day. Our programs are designed to enhance social skills, daily living skills, and community engagement, promoting independence and improving overall well-being. Participants enjoy various structured activities that foster growth and connection. These activities may include art and music therapy, cooking classes, wellness and fitness sessions, group discussions, and outings to local parks, libraries, and cultural events. Each activity is tailored to meet individual goals while encouraging peer interaction and a sense of community. Our dedicated staff provide consistent support and encouragement, helping participants build confidence, develop new interests, and achieve greater autonomy in their daily lives.
Behavioral Management
Understanding and addressing behavioral health needs is essential in senior care. Our Behavioral Support services provide specialized care for seniors experiencing mental health challenges, including dementia and Alzheimer’s disease. Our trained professionals use evidence-based strategies to manage symptoms such as anxiety, aggression, confusion, and depression, all while preserving the dignity and emotional well-being of each individual. We collaborate closely with families, caregivers, and healthcare providers to create personalized care plans that adapt to each senior’s evolving needs. By fostering a calming, supportive environment and encouraging meaningful engagement, we aim to enhance quality of life and ensure seniors feel safe, respected, and understood every step of the way.
Pre-Vocational Services
At Helena Home Care, our Pre-Vocational Services are designed to empower individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities by preparing them for future employment through structured, skill-building activities. We focus on developing essential workplace competencies such as punctuality, task focus, communication, teamwork, and professional behavior. Through hands-on training, simulated job tasks, and individualized support, participants gain confidence and learn to navigate real-world work expectations in a supportive, low-pressure environment. Our program is not job-specific but is tailored to each individual’s interests, goals, and abilities, helping to bridge the gap between day services and competitive employment. With guidance from our dedicated staff, individuals are equipped with the tools and experience they need to take meaningful steps toward greater independence and workforce inclusion.
Individual Supports (CCP, 15 Min)
Individual Supports under the Community Care Program (CCP) are delivered in 15-minute increments and offer highly personalized, flexible assistance with everyday activities and personal goals. Whether helping with meal preparation, hygiene, communication, mobility, or community involvement, our dedicated staff work closely with each participant to foster greater independence, functional ability, and self-advocacy. Services are customized to meet individual schedules, needs, and outcomes, always promoting dignity and choice.
Community-Based Supports (Supports Program)
Our Community-Based Supports service provides individualized assistance to help adults with developmental disabilities live more independently in their homes and participate fully in their communities. Delivered through the Supports Program, these one-on-one services focus on daily living skills, personal care, money management, community navigation, and social engagement, all tailored to the goals in each participant’s service plan. Our trained staff foster skill development and self-confidence while ensuring individuals remain safe, supported, and empowered in their daily routines.
Natural Supports Training
Our Natural Supports Training program equips family members, friends, and other unpaid caregivers with the skills and knowledge needed to support individuals with developmental disabilities. Training is tailored to each individual’s needs and may include strategies for behavior support, communication techniques, safety awareness, and promoting independence. This service strengthens natural support networks and fosters long-term stability and success for the individual in their home and community.
Interpreter Services
Effective communication is essential for inclusive care. Our Interpreter Services ensure that individuals who are deaf, hard of hearing, or have limited English proficiency can access all DDD services without barriers. We provide certified interpreters trained in disability services and culturally competent practices, allowing for accurate, respectful, and seamless communication between individuals, providers, and support teams.
Community Inclusion Services
Our Community Inclusion Services are designed to promote active participation in the broader community by helping individuals with I/DD access local events, social groups, volunteer opportunities, and recreational activities. These services aim to reduce isolation, encourage natural relationships, and build confidence through real-world experiences. By providing consistent support in navigating transportation, social situations, and unfamiliar environments, we help each participant find meaningful ways to connect and contribute to their communities.
