Wednesday, October 25, 2023 — Modernizing Personal Supports for the Life YOU Want
Presented by Andrea Vincent, District Manager, SafeinHome
There is a greater demand for innovative support than ever before. Not only are there staffing shortages, but we now realize that over-supporting a person is detrimental to their personal growth, social health, and their quality of life. With Remote Supports (24/7 access to support from a remote location), we use the type of technology most people use every day (like Facetime, Zoom, or even virtual education) to provide accessible and person-centered support, regardless of location. This technology-based support combined with traditional support provides greater autonomy and allows individuals to control the type and frequency of support they want and need… on their terms… in their own voice. TOGETHER, we can look beyond what isn’t working and modernize support.
