Program

What We Offer

4U offers its members opportunity to choose their daily activities, a chance to be a part of their community and give them the opportunity to have new experiences and discover new talents and joys.  We encourage members to experience simple exercise routines and use the opportunities available in the community such as the YMCA.  Our team shows members how to exercise safely and correctly, and that it can be fun.



 4U also has games on-site for the benefit of our members.  For the mind, we have items to challenge and stimulate thought such as jigsaw puzzles, crafts, puzzle pages and books, computers and games that allow for mental stimulation.  Everything is adaptable to each individual cognition and ability, and staff is available to provide any needed assistance.  Members are allowed to work at their own pace and level to allow for confidence and independence development and growth.  

 We utilize crafting within the program to work on creativity as well as work on fine and gross motor skills.  If it can be made, we will work on making it!  We welcome all ideas, and if we don't have the supplies to do a particular craft, we will get them.  Every individual is encouraged to participate, but it is completely by choice.

 Each location has the benefit of plenty of space, activity choices and supplies to accomplish whatever is desired.  Staff encourage activity and encourage members to make their own decisions.  


4U utilizes local resources such as the YMCA for physical activity and exercise, the library for exploring and as a resource, and various community and business locations to gain knowledge and connect with the community.  We are trained  in proper technique, with physical limitations taken into account.  Healthy activity and eating are encouraged and taught so all members can benefit.

  • Meal Planning, Shopping and Preparation

    4U has a program that works with members on meal planning, shopping, and food preparation.  The member to works on a meal plan for a week, then creates a shopping list, shops for the needed items weekly, and is assisted with preparing the chosen meal during their time of attendance.  All food is kept on the facility site, and staff assists members with preparation each day for the desired meal.  Members are encouraged to make healthy choices when planning meals, snacks, and items to eat and drink, but not "forbidden" from purchasing things if they choose to buy them.

    4U takes pride in a program that models and encourages healthy choices in life.  We encourage snacks that are healthy and meals of balance.  Individual goal-oriented activities are done with health in mind (how much weight can be lost by drinking "X" ounces of water a day for 14 days; how much weight can be lost in a month by walking for 10 minutes a day on a treadmill; etc.,) without creating a "who's better" atmosphere.  Charting is done so each individual can see their particular achievements without an atmosphere of "competition" with others.

  • Behavioral Support Assistance

    At 4U we understand that there are times that individuals have developed alternate methods of expressing themselves or outright negative behavior.  With the experience of the owners, we will work specifically with the member's team to develop a positive support plan that will offer respect and dignity while demonstrating an alternate method of expression.  It takes time but we will work as part of the team to assist in program development to allow every individual opportunity to grow and learn in alternate and supportive ways.

Each location we have is open and without barriers to those with physical challenges.  We make every attempt to offer an atmosphere that is comfortable and homey.

The set-up is done with the idea of working on Activities of Daily Living (ADL's) as well as providing a level of comfort and a sense of belonging. 

We work to provide individualized programming for every member that chooses to attend our service.  Offering activities to every individual as well as structured programming that is unique to each individual offers a program that is social and community-based while still offering each individual to work on the skills that they wish to.
