ALL About the (CCH) program at HARC
HARC ‘s Community Companion Home (CCH) Program offers the opportunity for families of different cultures and backgrounds to find the best possible match between family and participant. The licensee encourages the individual to participate in family events, community outings, and maintain a healthy relationship with their family. A CCH Licensee will offer a safe and nurturing home by providing needed supports, personal attention, and a positive lifestyle while continuing to maintaining important relationships in their lives. Supporting individuals working toward their personal goals. Monthly Visits are made to CCH homes by our CCH Coordinator Arlene Smith.
An individualized support plan is created based on the team’s knowledge of the individual’s personal challenges, strengths, skills, preferences and desired outcomes. The most rewarding part of becoming a licensee is the satisfaction that comes from being a part of a dedicated group of people who make life more fulfilling for others by opening the doors to your house so someone can call it home.
