Residential Services
Among our families' greatest concerns is "Who will take care of my child in future years? In response to this concern, HARC has established an array of community based residential opportunities that emphasize the physical and emotional well-being of its residents. HARC works with the entire family in determining a vision for the future and assists with the emotional and practical issues associated with making a successful transition. Our family-style culture promotes respect, dignity, self-determination, and competence. Each individual has a carefully developed Overall Plan Support (OPS) that
is developed by an Interdisciplinary Team (IDT), typically consisting of the
resident, family, support staff, case manager and other significant people
as desired. All areas of life are considered such as medical, self help,
cooking, banking, transportation, personal care, and recreation. The OPS is
reviewed on a regular basis and each re-done annually. In the event that
there is a significant change in the person's life, the IDT meets to discuss
the modifications needed to the OPS.
Types of ResidencesHARC provides residential support in a variety of settings: group homes, condominiums, and apartments. Supports range from intermittent to extensive depending on the needs and preferences of the individuals and their families. Some people like the camaraderie that group living provides; others are more private and prefer living alone or with a roommate. Eligibility/Area ServedHARC serves individuals and families in the Greater Hartford area. Our
residential program focuses on people with intellectual disability. We
work closely with the
Connecticut Department of Developmental Services (DDS) - North Region.
FeesThe fees for residential services are based upon the type of support and the location of each residence. HARC will assist you in working with DDS to secure state and federal assistance.
