What it reported doing in 2024

The Support Living Program provides in-home and community-based services to people living on their own or in small group situations. Supports and services vary and are dependent upon the needs of the individual and their living situation. These supports range from personal care to assisting people in building relationships within their community. Assistance with medical needs, personal care, community integration, medication administration and finances is also available. The frequency of support is based upon the needs of the person and the assigned funding level. Support hours vary from 10 hours per week to 24 hours per day, seven days per week. The individuals supported determine the schedule and the types of services provided. UCPRI sponsors and supports individuals living in two HUD financed apartment complexes, one in Cranston and one in Johnston. Other people live in a variety of settings in the greater Providence area. The Family Support Program provides a wide range of in-home and community based supports. The types of supports are dependent upon the persons needs and the family desires. These supports include community integration, teaching daily living skills and social skills. Families with elderly parents or caregivers may no longer be able to provide personal care and staff can provide the assistance required. Staff provide support that allows the person to continue to reside in the family home. Support can also include community integration and vocational assistance. Day Supports are provided in both one and one and small group formats. Again, the number of support hours available to the person is based upon funding, shared hours and the persons needs. Programming includes, but is not limited to, daily living skills, basic adult education, community integration and socialization skills. These groups provide people the opportunity to explore their local communities, and socialize with others. Community activities have expanded to include activity classes and art programs. People continue to develop relationships within the community. They also bring a wide range of educational opportunities to people. This includes current affairs, exercise programs, music programs, and guest speakers. UCPRI offers an Adaptive Arts Program in different formats and localities. The first is community based and is offered in locations such as our Main Office and in Johnston and Cranston at apartment complex community rooms. Individuals already supported by UCPRI and people from the community participate in adaptive art classes in three different classes offered at various times throughout the week. The second format occurs in the Slater Hospital System at both the Zambarano and Cranston campuses. In both formats different mediums of artist expression are explored and people have the opportunity to sell their work at different sales and shows throughout the year. Artists benefit from increased self-esteem by creating and selling their work. The benefits of an expression in a hospital setting are well documented and are seen in the patients in the Slater Hospital Program.
