Person-Centered Support
Care Designed for the Person, Not the Program
The focus of Wall Residences is to provide services tailored to the individual's needs, rather than requiring the individual to fit into an existing service.
Individualized Services
At Wall Residences, we believe that every person deserves a life that reflects their interests, strengths, and goals.
Personalized Routines
Rather than fitting individuals into pre-existing programs, we work closely with you and your family to create personalized routines.
- Traditional day programs or workshops (if desired)
- Community participation with residential support providers
- Paid or volunteer work
- Regular visits to local spots like the YMCA, parks, or coffee shops
Person-Centered Thinking
Our services are built around the preferences and support needs of each individual. We consider:
- Urban vs. rural settings
- Presence of animals in the home
- Need for structure vs. preference for a laid-back lifestyle
- Many more factors
If decision-making support is needed, trusted family members are involved in choosing the best environment. After interviews, trial visits, and consultations, we develop a customized service plan.
Core Principles of Person-Centered Planning
The individual and those who love them are key decision-makers. We ask:
- “Who is this person?”
- “What community opportunities will help them thrive?”
We aim to reshape community life by encouraging inclusion and creating meaningful roles for people with disabilities. True person-centered planning is rooted in respect, dignity, and courage.
Placement Process
Placement decisions are made by the individual and their authorized representatives. Our admissions team conducts detailed interviews and evaluates a wide range of options to match individuals with providers based on:
- Skills and experience
- Personality and lifestyle
- Home environment and location
- Daytime activity availability
- Compatibility with others in the home
All-Inclusive Services
Our goal is to support the total health and well-being of every individual we serve. We ensure that all Providers, DSPs, and Program Management:
- Are psychologically healthy
- Respect and learn from the individuals they support
- Embrace diversity and inclusion
We believe that every person has the potential to thrive and we work to ensure they are fully included in home and community life.
