Registration and needs assessment

Does the registration or sign-up form ask if additional assistance or accommodations may be needed for participation in the program or activity?

N/A

Is the inclusion point of contact (or ADA coordinator) listed on the registration form?

N/A

Is there a way to conduct a needs assessment or gather additional information for successful participation, when needed? (e.g., an assessment or interview)

Yes

When needed, does staff conduct pre-program meetings or orientations with participants with disabilities, prior to starting a program or activity?

Yes

Comments/additional information about registration and needs assessment:

The programs on the patio do not require registration, but the staff are informed when a particular resident is interested that would need special accommodations. Whether that is sitting closer to the performer if the individual is hard of hearing or being placed at a specific table to accommodate their height in the wheelchair. The staff members are the most versatile tools when it comes to inclusivity.

Supports available

Are additional staff or volunteers available to assist in inclusion, when needed?

Yes

Are peer orientations about disability and inclusion available, when needed?

Yes

Do peers help provide assistance with inclusion, when needed?

Yes

Are positive behavioral supports used in the program or activity, when needed?

Yes

Is a quiet area available for calming or relaxation needs?

N/A

If yes, describe quiet area:

The patio does not have a calming area, but there are many places to relax inside the facility. One room has a large fish tank that many residents enjoy sitting in front of to relax.

Comments/additional information about supports:

The patio has lots of space to relax and reflect when there is not an event taking place. The water fountain in the center is very calming, and the shaded canopy is perfect to read a book under. The facility does a wonderful job maintaining the garden, and the flowers are always beautiful.

Are activities modified to individual needs, when needed?

If yes, typical modifications provided:

Can people partially participate in activities, when needed? (e.g., take breaks, do only part of activity)

Yes

Comments/additional information about activity accommodations:

There are a variety of engaging activities provided by the activity department that take place indoors and outdoors when weather permits. Birthday parties, music entertainers, BINGO, and cookouts are the most attended and anticipated. Monthly calendars are made with a listing of daily happenings.

Specialized programs or services

Are specialized/segregated programs for people with disabilities provided?

Comments/additional information about specialized programs:

All activities and events can be modified for any and all abilities. There are no specific programs catering to any one population.

Notes about program practices

Any additional program practices you noted at the agency that are not listed above that you feel are helpful to people with disabilities and their families:

Drumming is an upbeat exercise program many families attended with their loved ones. Great music, positive vibes, and lots of drum-banging fun. All ages, all abilities, and all people are invited to join the drumming class. The more, the louder, the better!
