Good Hope Collaborative Inc. Distinctive Competency

Good Hope’s distinctive competency is its person-centered approach, which forms the basis of its services and supports. The staff will not focus on serving persons with intellectual disabilities by providing blanket access to available supports available in their communities through standardized programs. The organization’s person-centered approach will focus on understanding the unique emotional, physical, and spiritual needs of beneficiaries, and tailoring programs to address these specific needs. The organization’s dedicated Direct Support Professionals (DSPs) will be trained to journey with beneficiaries, understand their unique needs, personal desires, and aspirations, and then use these to develop individual support plans (ISPs) for each individual. The ISP will outline the unique needs of every individual, their personal desires and aspirations, and the plan of care, which includes the specific services and supports to be offered to the individual to address the identified needs and help them realize their personal goals. At Good Hope Collaborative, the beneficiary is nurtured to be an active, rather than a passive participant in their care.
