The needs and preferences of clients to maintain and develop ties to their personal communities and relationships are valued, supported, and facilitated. Clients are asked what community events they would like to participate in and are taken to those events. Clients are also encouraged to gain or regain independence by participating in their assisted daily living activities (ADL’s).
