Life Focus Center’s Social Focus is a series of social & recreational program designed for disabled individuals to develop social skills, develop and maintain friendships and access the community, as well as respite for the primary care family.  Three distinct program models have been designed.  In each model, the participants design and create the monthly activity schedules with the assistance of staff.  All component names and group identifications are the creation of the participants, voted and adopted at their monthly meeting.  As Life Focus Center can only commit transportation within a limited radius, participants outside the transport radius will need to explore options that include family or house management and the RIDE.

To ensure that all participants’ beliefs/customs/needs are being met, we ask that you let us know what days that is important to the individual so we may celebrate cultural events.
