COMMUNITY SERVICES
Our community services coordinators link each individual in the community with a direct care employee who helps to meet the specific needs of the individual. Then, under the supervision of the community services coordinator, each one-on-one direct care employee helps the individual and his or her family to achieve a variety of individualized goals based on the person’s needs, strengths and preferences. Goals may be addressed in the home, community or vocational settings.
Staff are trained in person centered thinking, person centered planning, Client Rights, First Aid, CPR and crisis response. We have staff who are able to interpret for people with hearing impairments.

GROUP HOME SERVICES
Therapeutic Alternatives, Inc. operates group homes for adults in Guilford, Randolph, Hoke and Moore Counties. We operate licensed group homes for adults with developmental disabilities (DDA) as well as for adults with mental illness (SPMI). Individuals must be at least 18 years of age and live in family-style, community-integrated homes with an emphasis on community involvement, education, employment and gaining independent skills. All group homes are licensed for adults and are staffed 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year.
Our group homes range in size from three to six beds. Many of the people we support work in the community, attend day programs, or receive compensatory education at local community colleges. Some receive either Innovations Waiver services or other mental health services to support them in their vocational placements and personal care activities in the group home.
