What it reported doing in 2024

The residential and community-based supports (rcbs) program supports clients on their independence journey, offering clients the opportunity to live on their own with the support of jespy's team of case managers and daily living skills (dls) counselors. New residential clients (usually young adults) start out in "the residence", a supervised apartment setting with 24/7 support. The residence offers our clients their first taste of what it is like to live independently. Each client has his or her own bedroom and shares the responsibilities of the apartment with their roommates. Our dedicated team teaches our clients to care for themselves and their apartments, how to be safe in the community, how to grocery shop, prepare meals, manage money, pay bills, and do chores. Most clients spend 2-4 years in the residence, and when they have mastered the skills necessary to live more independently, they move to one of our five shared houses, which offers a home-like setting with roommates under the supervision of a case manager, or to independent apartments or condominiums (not jespy owned) in the community with supports from jespy staff.jespy's five shared houses are located within walking distance to jespy programs and services. Clients live with housemates in our shared houses. Each client has his or her own bedroom and shares living and kitchen space. They prepare meals together and share responsibilities of a household like a family. Each shared house has a house manager who serves as the case manager to the clients in that house. Clients who require daily living skills training still receive those hands-on services. Most clients who live in shared housing are employed or involved in volunteer work. Clients receive 24/7 support in this setting.most clients who reside in the jespy community live on their own or with a roommate in their own apartments or condominiums with the help of our community-based supports program. These clients have transitioned from one of the previously mentioned living arrangements, having demonstrated that they are ready for this step to futher their independence goals. Each client receives services through jespy's community-based supports program and is assigned a case manager to oversee and coordinate their care. Clients also receive daily living skills training and support as needed.our case managers and daily living skills counselors are key to our clients' success. Case managers provide our clients with individualized services to ensure their needs are being met and provide clients with encouragement and support as they work toward independence and strive to reach their individual goals. Our daily living skills counselors play a crucial role, too, providing clients with hands-on training based on the client's individual needs, such as meal planning, budgeting and money management, cleaning and organizing. Our cbs program also works with our clients on good safety habits, how to safely use public transportation, how to interact with their neighbors and businesspeople, and how to socialize with their peers.
