Individual Supports
Individual Supports are services that provide direct support and assistance for consumers, with or without, the caregiver present; in or out of the consumer’s residence, to achieve and/or maintain the outcomes of increased independence, productivity, enhanced family functioning, and inclusion into the community, as outlined in his/her Service Plan. Individual Supports may include, but are not limited to: assistance with community-based activities and assistance to, as well as training and supervision of, individuals as they learn and perform the various tasks that are included in basic self-care, social skills, and activities of daily living.
Community Based Supports
Beacon – New Jersey provides one-on-one direct support for community-based activities, with a caring staff offering training and supervision as our consumers learn and perform basic self-care, social skills and activities of daily living. This may involve attending events, ordering off a menu at a restaurant, learning to cook and do laundry, and more, either in or out of the person’s home.
Behavioral Supports
Beacon – New Jersey works closely with individuals and, as appropriate, their families to address behavior through the development of behavior support plans. We conduct a thorough assessment, then develop and implement a structured plan, offering ongoing training and supervision of caregivers and staff as well as continuous monitoring and periodic reassessment of the plan.
