Program Description
The Turner home is located in Turner, Maine. It is situated in a rural community, though not far from a small supermarket, a pizza parlor and the town’s post office. It is a short drive to Auburn which hosts lots of retail establishments, movie theater and restaurants.
This program is as a 2-bed level I program and meets all Home and Community-Based Standards (HCBS). It serves two individuals with intellectual disabilities who require a high level of support.
The home is a ranch style home with an open-concept kitchen, living and dining area, and a shared walk-in shower. It is handicap accessible with a wheelchair ramp wrapped along the side of the home for non-ambulatory individuals and a fenced-in yard. Inside the home, there are also railings along walls to aid individuals with independent walking. Individuals in this home have their own bedroom, which they are encouraged to decorate according to their personal tastes while sharing the rest of the home and yard.
Individuals in this home are working on a variety of safety skills and being part of their local community. The direct care staff assists individuals with building skills in the areas of social skills, community inclusion, being good neighbors, medication & behavior management, attendance at religious services, leisure activities, day program services, appointments, and family or guardian visits. Each plan is crafted with the treatment team and the individual’s input to be unique to their needs.
In addition, ASI provides different activities throughout the year for all to join such as cooking classes, bingo, bowling and game afternoons. We sponsor agency-wide events such as cooking competitions (Chopped or Chili Cook-Off), Annual Wellness Day Event, sporting events, art classes, and other fun activities to participate in as desired.
ASI-NE’s mission is to support people to experience meaningful lives by aiding with all aspects of daily living, health management, community integration, and safety monitoring with an individual, person-centered approach.
