Spurwink's Adult Program provides residential services to individuals who are 18 years or older and are clients of the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS). This program currently serves 50 individuals through community-based homes in Portland, Westbrook, Buxton, Standish, Limerick, and North Yarmouth. Most homes are staffed by live-in therapeutic – more... couples who are employed by Spurwink and provide consistency, structure, and predictability. Therapeutic couples build relationships with the adults in their residence, thus providing greater opportunities for personal growth and behavioral stability.
Services are based on individual needs and interests. Clients are supported and encouraged to engage in social and recreational activities of their choice, participate in work or volunteer activities, visit with family and friends, attend church, and tend to everyday needs such as grocery shopping or banking. Varying levels of support are provided depending on the individual's level of independence.
Each resident also receives case management services through their program supervisor. These services include: developing a relationship with the client; acting as liaison with parents, medical personnel, department officials, and consultants; advocating for the individual; providing direction and supervision to staff on behalf of the individual; ensuring that individual needs are met; and overseeing planning processes. – less – More from ZoomInfo »
