At HDC we believe that positive transformation requires a partnership between the person, their family, and our own staff. We care about everyone who walks through our doors, and are dedicated to their health, safety, and happiness.
These services are offered as an alternative to our traditional Day Habilitation programs. By providing an array of community experiences, participants receiving Community Development Services not only benefit from enhanced social and recreational opportunities but will ultimately help improve the individual’s employability through community exposure and the development of vocational interests.
Personal supports is a program ran by residential that serves families/ provides them a break in the evenings… it provides a few hours of services that is 1:1 staff with the individual and they can help them with house chores or doctor appointments, or just going into the community for an event or getting groceries.
Our residential services are designed to meet the evolving needs of an individual throughout their life and quickly make any adjustments to best serve each individual. We offer in-home and community personal supports, respite services, and traditional residential living in one of our staffed community homes.
Our Day Habilitation programs provide individualized services with an emphasis on community interaction. This activity-oriented program is available in both Frederick and Washington counties for persons that require assistance and training with activities of daily living, personal care, academic skills and pre-vocational skills training.
HDC’s has a primary goal to match the “right job” to the job seeker in order to establish satisfying, integrated, competitive employment that meets the needs and requirements of the job seeker. Our approach is designed for long-term success and employee satisfaction.
HDC maintains homes in both Washington and Frederick counties that we use for Respite Services. Our Agency works closely with each individual’s family to ensure they can receive the temporary relief they need while knowing their family member is safe and happy within a safe and nourishing environment.
