Narrative

Center is in downtown Lynn. The Center is easily accessible to public transportation. Program offers a variety of programs during the day, after hours and on weekends.

Access the Center’s Services

Families of adults and children living at home who are eligible for services from DDS have access to the Center. Our purpose is to support families when they need it most. We provide resources for people with disabilities (PwD) and their families. We help them to reach the highest level of support to positively impact their lives.

Customized Case Management

Each family will meet in an initial face-to-face assessment. We identify a support plan designed to meet each person’s needs. Special attention will be paid to the family’s strengths and interests as well as their community and spiritual affiliations/memberships. Services will include but are not limited to:

  • Information and referral (I&R)
  • Service Navigation
  • Family training
  • Mentoring
  • Respite
  • In-home supports

Goal setting, monitoring and outcome assessment will ensure that families will be supported as their needs change.
