BAROCO'S
SPRINGFIELD DAY HABILITATION PROGRAM
Location
and Program Hours
Baroco's Springfield Program started in 2006 and is located at 450 Cottage Street in Springfield, Massachusetts.
We
are open
Monday through Friday from 9 A.M. to 3 P.M. 52 weeks per year.
We are closed on nine major holidays.
People served in this program
The Program is
designed to serve over 50
adults ranging in age from 22 to 90. While individualized
services are designed to meet each participant needs, we also pay
particular attention, and tailor programming, to the special needs
presented by the variety of ages of the people we serve.
Services Provided
Baroco is dedicated to providing the people that we serve the opportunity to be
independent in their choice making as well as assisting them to become
contributing members of their community.
Services are completely free to people who qualify for
Mass Health. Services
available to Participants include Communication Development, Self Help
Development, Sensory Motor Development, Independent Living Skills,
Social Development, Affective Development, and Behavior Development.
Assessments are completed in each specialty area, and recommendations are
made to assist in the development of each participant's Individual Service Plan. Ancillary
services may include Music and Massage Therapy.
Special
Program Components
At our Springfield
Facility we have a Volunteer Program
which will allow people to contribute to their communities while at the
same time enhancing the skills they have worked on at the program site.
To address the needs of our
older participants we have developed a component that provides Services
for Older Adults.
Staffing
In
order to ensure that we deliver high quality services, the program employs
sufficient staff to maintain a staff to consumer ratio that meets the
needs of the program participants. All staff must
complete rigorous initial, and ongoing, training to ensure that they are
able to adhere to the high standards we expect in the delivery of services
to the people we are entrusted to care for. Consumers also have
the benefit of daily on-site services of a Registered Nurse, as well as an LPN, who administers
medications and oversees the health needs of each person in
the program. Baroco
also employs consultants in each of the following areas: Occupational Therapy,
Speech Therapy, Physical Therapy and Behavioral Therapy.
Transportation
Transportation to and from the facility is also completely free.
People who are accepted into the program will have their
transportation set up by their Local Area Office of the Department of
Developmental Services (DDS).
