CHOICE (CHoosing Options for Inclusion and Community Experience) is an adult enrichment program designed to provide social opportunities for consumers in a Group Respite setting. This program will be offered Monday – Friday from 2:30 – 5:30 p.m. at The Arc’s main office located at 680 2nd Street SE in Cedar Rapids. Consumers will enjoy participating in a variety of structured recreational, social and learning activities both at the site location and in the community.
Recreation Activities may include:
General games, arts & crafts, outdoor games, exercising, swimming at the YMCA, movies, library visits, and attendance at other community locations/events.
Learning Activities may include:
Public transportation system, social skills, community safety awareness (i.e. street crossing, learning signs); and household chores (i.e. laundry, meal planning, cooking, cleaning).
Consumers attending CHOICE will be able to utilize Group Respite funding or may private pay for this service. Consumers choosing Group Respite funding must comply with HCBS Group Respite requirements (i.e. one parent/guardian must not be working during the time billed as Group Respite) and will be billed the current Group Rate. Those choosing the private pay option will be offered a weekly rate of $60 for consumers who attend all 5 days or a $15 daily rate for consumers choosing to attend various days. The maximum daily capacity for this program is 12 consumers per day.
