Services & Amenities
At People First, we care about the total person. So, we provide our individuals with a diverse range of activities and services designed to stimulate, educate, and entertain them so they can lead a more independent, rewarding life.
Transportation
We offer rides to and from our facility on our 12-seat passenger van for those living within our pickup radius. Riders will be greeted by the same friendly, familiar drivers every day who are skilled at assisting individuals with disabilities.
Daily living
Through activities such as personal hygiene, cooking, menu planning, laundry, cleaning, money management, and other aspects of everyday life, we foster independence for our individuals.
Fitness room
Exercise can be a great way to facilitate both greater physical and mental well-being. Individuals have access to our fitness room that features a bicycle, elliptical, free weights, treadmill, and indoor basketball hoop.
Arts and crafts
Besides enabling participants to engage in basic arts and crafts activities— such as sewing, painting, drawing, and assembling puzzles—our team identifies ways to creatively stimulate individuals based on their specific interests and abilities.
Community service
Giving back to the community is another way for individuals to grow independently and promote socialization. We provide opportunities each month for individuals to volunteer at a local food pantry, church, or other community-related organization.
Field trips
We offer multiple field trips each week which might include bowling, going to a fabric and crafts store, watching a movie in a theater, shopping at retail stores, visiting an alpaca farm, riding on ice bumper boats, or other varied activities.
Outdoor recreation
Our exterior amenities include a spacious, covered pavilion for picnics and other types of fun events, along with a community garden for individuals.
Individual employment support and vocational habilitation
As part of our commitment to nurturing independence and development, we help participants search for employment, create resumes, and prepare for job interviews. After an individual becomes employed, we conduct follow-ups with the employer to see if we can provide additional support to help the individual succeed at their position.
