Transition Services
Paraquad's assists individuals with disabilities transitioning from nursing homes, shelters or rehabilitation centers into the community. Each participant works with an Independent Living Specialist (ILS) to learn independent living skills. The transition process can take anywhere from six months to two years.
The ILS offers resources and experience in the planning process, however the person with the disability is in control.
The goal of the transition process is to provide a holistic approach to assisting people who are in nursing homes, homeless or trying to avoid homelessness. The objective is to address all the relevant concerns so that transitions are both safe and successful.
