Community Access/ Services Without Walls

UCP’s Community Access Supports will focus on the adoption of new and innovative approaches to service delivery through person-centered connections. Our ultimate goal is to provide invisible supports by our direct service professionals, so that the individual is identified first as a member of the community and citizen rather than someone with a disability. UCP embraces personal futures planning for all individuals irrespective of disability classification. The objective is to empower all individuals receiving services to move beyond traditional in-house facility based service delivery systems to more person-centered and community-based service delivery models.

The new service delivery approach will allow UCP’s professionals to customize service delivery based upon the gifts, talents and interests of the individuals served. Every individual receiving supports shall be assigned to a team of UCP support providers (support managers, direct service professions and related services providers-when necessary) responsible for working collaboratively with Service Coordinators, Families, Advocates Guardians and Attorney’s to ensure that the community-based supports are fully accessed to realize the personal and habilitation goals of our individuals.
