WCAY utilizes specialized Adult Residential Facilities (ARF) licensed by the State of California Department of Social Services. All ARF’s are in operation 24 hours per day, 7 days a week with consistent care providers on rotation. The facilities are designed and operated to serve Regional Center adults that are developmentally disabled.

The current level of Facilities are as follows:

4. Negotiated Rate Homes are the most challenging facilities with most behaviors having a higher need for rehabilitation. These individuals usually struggle with Drugs/Alcohol, Anger Management, or Dual Diagnosis with Mental and Psychotic issues; as well as Forensic Challenges.

Basic services for our ARFs include development of our clients Individuals Service Plan (ISP).

The ISP can assist in the following ways:

• Modify inappropriate behaviors.
• Assistance with household and cleaning services; including meal prep, personal hygiene and laundry.
• Emergency Health and dental care/ medication training.
• Guidance in self-care.
• Money Management Training.
• Support in engagement in recreational & communal activities.

Our care providers are trained to provide basic behavioral modification strategies from moderate to severe behavioral episodes. A Behavior Analyst implements a behavioral treatment plan based on the frequency and severity of the behaviors observed, documented and reported by care providers.

Care providers keep a record of our client’s behaviors, skills training, and objective goals that are reviewed with the Administrator and the Facility’s Behaviorist. With this information, WCAY Inc., provides quarterly and annual reports of an individual’s progress with programs, rehabilitation sessions/classes, competency training, and the individual’s adherence with court orders.
