We provide young adults (18-35) with disabilities Hourly Day Services, Daily Living Skills, Respite and Transportation services in their home, at The Haase House, and in the community. Participants are provided with many opportunities to attain skills that will help them reach their greatest potential, including:

- community integration and safety
- age-appropriate leisure activities
- volunteer opportunities
- social circle development
We do not have a one-size-fits-all mentality at the Haase House. Daily schedules are set in accordance with each participant's specific, self-determined goals, and we utilize the expertise of our staff to select activities that are geared toward those goals. We are also equipped to embrace spontaneity if an opportunity or "great idea" arises to pursue an activity that would be beneficial to the participant's growth. We will continue to explore expanding these instructional services. (see current SERVICES below).

Our structure is very different from the typical adult day-program in that we provide daily life-skill programming that is tailored to each individual’s goals. We work closely with families, individuals, guardians, school staff, employers, and caseworkers to assure we are providing specific, enriching, and self-determined activities to make progress toward participants' life goals and greater independence. In our comfortable, calm, and safe home setting, we have many opportunities to address social skills, strengthen participants' abilities for relationship-building, and encourage respectful engagement with others.
PERSONALIZED SCHEDULE DEVELOPMENT
Mary and THH staff communicate with each participant, their fiscal agent consultant, and their parent/guardian to develop a customized plan to ensure continued development in desired areas. The THH team takes several weeks to assess and determine baselines and goals, and each participant is considered in daily schedules to ensure their individual needs and goals are being met.
INTEREST-BASED EVENTS & ACTIVITIES
We take our customization to the next level when planning our Special Events & Activities. Our schedule is driven by what our participants are interested in, what makes them happy, and what fulfills them. We also try to add unique events and experiences such as fishing, rock climbing, concerts, and potter to build their options for independent leisure and recreation.

In addition to services that focus on skills training, we strongly believe that building relationships and a sense of “community” is critical for persons with disabilities. One popular aspect of THH is the “Special Events” we offer. These are offered to any young adult with a disability 18+ in the community at a very low cost per hour to cover support and transportation. Those enrolled at THH can use their Iong-term care funding for these events, as well. Special Events are intended to get our participants together with others in the community to broaden social opportunities, enjoy new activities, and build new, lasting relationships.
In addition to Special Events, we include opportunities to go into the community at least twice per day with the intent to build that deeper sense of community and teach participants how to best enjoy and utilize the community they are given.
Services Offered
HOURLY DAY SERVICES
SUPPORTED EMPLOYMENT
HOURLY DAY SERVICES
Hourly day services are provided to any participant attending THH during their scheduled time, and we include a range of opportunities in the home and community settings. Although the funded service often indicates "assistance" needed to meet daily living needs to assure adequate functioning and safe access to the community, our mission is to look for every opportunity to teach and not just "cue" or prompt these individuals through activities they encounter throughout their day. Our customized daily schedules include gardening, cooking, exercise, setting the table, cleaning, hygiene practice, simple home repair, chores, hikes, simple woodworking, scrap booking, music exploration, relaxation, learning new board/table games, and functional academics to name a few. The professional backgrounds of our staff allow us to plan activities and curriculum to meet the specific learning or physical needs of each participant for effective intervention.

It also can be used to provide support at a volunteer site or work setting in our community. Daily Living Skills services can occur in the client’s home, in the community, or at THH.

PATIENT EDUCATION
We provide transportation at a reasonable and competitive cost as long as it does not disrupt specific individualized programming. During a given day, we have the option to transport participants to all areas within our community and surrounding communities. We are not a "one size fits all" operation, so we may offer alternative options for participants that more closely meet their needs, goals, or desires.
