Services
Center Village recognizes
each individual has a unique set of strengths and needs. Our staff works
with everyone's strengths to help people reach and maintain their
independence. At the center of the care is the Individual Program
Plan (IPP). The IPP is held once a year and is designed so that residents,
family members, case workers, legal advocates, and support agencies all
have the opportunity to be active in the planning and goal setting
process. The team then reviews goals every three months and a six month
review is held to discuss and re-set goals.
