MISSION - WHAT WE DO

The mission of Cumberland Community Options is to assist people with intellectual disabilities and/or related disabilities to experience a lifestyle that is meaningful and provides opportunities in the community of their choosing. CCO believes people with disabilities should be afforded opportunities to play valuable roles in their communities and supports their efforts to participate. Cumberland Community Options believes each individual has a right to express his/her wants and needs and to be assisted in having them fulfilled.

SERVICES - HOW WE DO IT

Residential Companion Services The residential program is the primary support provided by Cumberland. We match each individual without a disability with a person who has a disability and they share a home and receive supports. CCO as a whole is responsible to ensure that all residential supports are provided. This includes supervision and assistance, transportation, teaching and learning oppportunities, assistance with goals, health and safety and all other issues that come up in daily living. CCO believes community integration and living in a community of choice is of utmost importance. Individuals with disabilities should not be segregated or housed in segregated environments. Individuals with disabilities are provided the supports to have the equal opportunity to live in the community of their choice. Companion supports provide a more family-like living arrangement and give the individual with a disability more freedom over his/her life and the activities he/she wishes to participate in. Individual Community Day Supports Provide supports so individuals with disabilities can have meaningful day time activity or community involvement. Staff assist individuals in obtaining work and or supporting the person in a work environmnet. If an individual is not able to work, staff assist the person to participate in daily activities within the larger community. Some individuals volunteer with their staff-supporting others in need. Additional time may be spent participating in communitiy activities or exploring community events. Employment Supports We provide supports to individuals with disabilities who have a desire to be employed and/or increase their employment goals. Many individuals with disabilities require support in their employment goals. Often times, much support is needed on the front end of an employment opportunity. A job coach is provided to assist the person with the disability to learn their job and the tasks related. CCO will aid the person to be as independent in their job, as possible. If a person is not able to gain independence to person the job duties without support, a CCO employed job coach will work along side the person in their job.
