Divine Home Healthcare activities are designed to assist the participant in acquiring, retaining or improving self-help, socialization, and adaptive skills required for active community participation and independent functioning outside the participant’s home or family home. These services are interventions in the areas of social, emotional, physical, and intellectual development and may include training in the areas of daily living skills (including leisure/recreation skills); communication training; mobility training; programming to reduce inappropriate and / or maladaptive behaviors; and training in the use of common community resources.

The emphasis of training will be on assisting the individual in increasing self-help, socialization skills, skills of daily living and adaptive skills required for active community participation and independent functioning outside the participant’s home or family home.  These activities include accompanying individuals to the grocery store, or eating establishments; teaching an individual how to participate in appropriate social and recreational activities; and assessing other activities of community living. 

Community Access services are individually planned to meet the participant’s needs and preferences for active community participation.  These services are provided in either community-based or facility-based settings but not in the participant’s home or family home or any other residential setting.

The intended outcome of these services is to improve the participant’s access to the community through increased skills.
