Declarations Services

Declarations, Inc.’s community support services are dedicated to the well-being, health, and safety of the people we serve. At Declarations, we do not expect our consumers to spend years waiting for an opening in one of our residential programs. Instead, we design and develop new programs for the benefit of our consumers.

Each program is designed with input from our consumers and their families. Through rehabilitation planning, life skills training, and community integration, Declarations is driven to encourage each individual to reach his or her highest level of independence and to realize his or her best quality of life.

Those who we serve require and receive varying degrees of supervision and assistance, as appropriate, based on their specific needs. Goals are developed annually with input from the individual, his or her significant others (family and friends), care workers, and staff.

Goals may be set and/or focused upon any category of an individual’s life and are designed to meet that person’s unique needs, hopes and dreams.

Our support services are based upon Dr. James Marhold’s nationally-recognized Life Coaching Model which is designed “…to build upon a person’s own internal motivation and strengths as a means for achieving wellness.” The Life Coaching Model focuses on developing a partnership rather than just managing cases. Through this model, staff members assist each consumer with clarifying individual perceptions and beliefs in order to help each person guide him or herself in more decisive ways. This model provides individuals with the ability to achieve greater levels of independence.
