Non-Residential
Supported Transition Services
Planning for transition to Gould Farm’s non-residential programs begins early in a resident’s stay at Fellside and is a goal shared by all. Once an adequate outside support structure has been established and housing is secured, residents are encouraged to go out on their own. An appropriate level of support from the Fellside staff is negotiated along with a specific timeframe and fee.
Extended Community Program
Residents who have made the transition to independent living and have demonstrated the ability to manage their lives with appropriate support, can transfer to the Extended Community Program. This program is available on a long-term basis to clients who have settled in the communities near the programs. A contract is established that includes weekly meetings with case managers, access to respite at Fellside or the Farm, and a social network of alumni and families who support the Farm’s values and mission. |
