Community-Based Program

The Community-Based Program fosters the use of retrained skills learned during treatment and discovering new ways of completing these skills within the least restrictive environment (i.e. home/apartment, work place, community).  Based on the individual needs, there are two possible options with this program:

  • Semi-Independent Living
    Origami’s 6 private, onsite apartments offer a middle step between residential care and living in an independent location. Rehabilitation Aides offer support up to 5 hours per day.
  • Community Integration
    Staff offer support in the home for up to 16 hours per week. Each person’s rehabilitation goals, support, and treatment interventions are specifically tailored for his/her environment. This allows for a more seamless return back into the community.
