Services for Adults are funded by Community Living British Columbia. Currently we provide Employment and Community Inclusion programs as well as support to individuals living independently.
Cedar Crest provides Self Help Skills services to adults referred to the program by the local Community Living British Columbia (CLBC) staff. These individuals require non-residential support in order to maximize their independence. The services are provided in the community of 100 Mile House and are based at one of several locations operated by the Society.
Cedar Crest provides services to individuals and small groups, based on the identified needs of the participants. Personalized plans that reflect individual needs, wishes and preferences are developed and maintained. Individuals have their health and safety needs met and their well being promoted during their participation in the Self Help Skills programs.
Cedar Crest programs provide consumers with the opportunity to experience inclusion and make meaningful contributions to the community through occupational, vocational and social/recreational programs. Cedar Crest participates in integrated case management processes and activities. Cedar Crest works collaboratively with other contracted professionals as requested. The Society provides all necessary skills, materials, expertise and organizational/administrative support necessary to deliver these services.
As part of the Community Inclusion programs funded by Community Living British Columbia the Cedar Crest Society offers services to assist eligible individuals seeking employment or volunteer opportunities in the community.
The program offers a combination of work experience, ongoing support and training to assist individuals to find and maintain employment. These services will be provided in the community of 100 Mile House.
Cedar Crest works collaboratively with other agencies such as WorkBC, as is required. The Society will provide all necessary skills, materials, expertise and organizational/administrative support necessary to deliver the services. It will participate in integrated case management processes and activities, and in development of individualized plans and programs.
Cedar Crest develops work opportunities (either paid or volunteer) and matches jobs to clients. The program assists consumers with the development of résumés and work-related documents. Cedar Crest will train clients in needed skills prior to job placement and on the job, or enable clients to access necessary training.
The Society will monitor job placements, provide on-the-job support as needed and provide or arrange transportation to and from the work site. Cedar Crest may also make written agreements with employers regarding employment goals, goals for learning, salary and supervision.
The Cedar Crest Society for Community Living may support individuals to achieve or maintain independence in their own living choices.
Through a variety of programs, funded by Community Living British Columbia, people can obtain assistance to ensure they live as independently as possible.
Some areas we can help with include:
As well as many other functions unique to the person.
People referred to our Skill Development, Outreach, Personal Supports Initiative and Individual programs would typically request these types of supports.
The Cedar Crest Society is authorized to offer "Host Agency" Services.
Community Living British Columbia (C.L.B.C.) offers families an option to have greater control around individual funding for a family member.
Eligible families sign an agreement to receive funding from C.L.B.C. and instruct C.L.B.C. to send that funding to the Cedar Crest Society. Families may choose to be involved in hiring staff members and have input into program direction.
