CEO's Message
Thank you
for your interest in the services provided by Living
Opportunities, Inc. We have been assisting people with
developmental disabilities and their families in Jackson County
since 1974. More specifically, we have provided group home
services since 1974, semi-independent living assistance
(apartment, etc.) since 1976; and support in jobs and recreation
settings since 1983. Our staff has the knowledge and experience
to help you assess your needs, develop plans and implement the
activities that will achieve your goals.
We focus on
the development of opportunities and services that occur in the
mainstream of our community. For example:
Jobs are
developed in existing community businesses and we assist the
person with disabilities and the employer to work out the
duties and relationships that will make the job a success
for both.
Our
semi-independent living services are designed to help the
person with disabilities be successful in his/her home,
apartment complex and/or neighborhood; shopping, banking and
engaging in leisure activities that mirror what goes on in
the surrounding community.
In both
job and living environments we emphasize helping people make
connections and build relationships.
I have been
in this field since 1973 and with Living Opportunities, Inc.
since 1988. We have employees who have been here longer than I
have and we pride ourselves in retaining staff at a high rate
for this business. We appreciate the experience and continuity
that brings to the table and we think you will, too.
Best
Regards,
Roger
