Real Life Choices was created out of a desire to give individuals and families the opportunity to make their own decisions, to give them the flexibility to meet their unique needs, and to enable them to accommodate their individual lifestyles.
The vision of Real Life Choices is to give a person and their family members a strong voice, and the power to make their own choices. The vision shifts the power from the professionals to the individual and their family members, and it recognizes that the individual should be able to direct the delivery of their own services.
In Real Life Choices, success is not determined by a checklist of the number of services provided to a person, but rather by the person's attainment of desired outcomes.
Real Life Choices looks to how the supports and services mapped out in a person's plan of care build independence, and at how satisfied the person and their family are with the outcomes |
