Day Program FAQs

Stellar Care believes that smaller staff ratios are the foundation of our program’s success, allowing more individualized services and personal growth. Stellar Care has a maximum of 1:4 staffing to individual. Some of our individuals require 1:1 ratios. Our services are person centered and we believe in the importance of listening to those we serve and finding activities that they enjoy where they can engage with their community and work on their community integration goals in a supported and compassionate environment. Our Day Programs are all community based and provide transportation to and from the doorstep of their residence.

What are Stellar Care’s Day Program operating hours? We operate Monday through Friday with pick-ups occurring between 8am-9am, program from 9am-3pm, and drop offs from 3pm-4pm. We provide these services based on the hours allotted in the Individual Service Plan and can also provide occasional services in the evening (for dances, etc.) or on the weekends for special events or accommodations.

What are Supported Living Services? Supported Living Services (SLS) are used to supplement already available supports for adults who either can live independently with limited supports, or if they need extensive support, are principally supported from other sources, such as the family. SLS provides a variety of services, such as personal care (medical appointments, grocery shopping, etc.) or homemaking needs, mentoring, accessing his or her community, help with decision-making, professional therapies, and transportation. Supported Living Services are not intended to meet all needs. We also offer respite services through SLS, which can range from hourly mentor provided services to the utilization of our host homes for overnights.
