Having a safe place to call home. Being part of a community. These are foundations of living a rich, full, independent life.
We know people have different preferences, wants, likes and needs in deciding where to live. Consistent with our mission, KenCCID believes in freedom of choice. We offer a variety of living arrangements from apartments to small homes. Our options include 1, 2, and 3 bedroom homes and apartments. Most people have 1-2 roommates who share their living spaces and enjoy their own bedrooms. Others may be offered Semi-Independent Living and may live on their own, but with the amount of support they desire according to their needs.
We have a range of service options to promote independence and enhance a person’s daily life. Our services include:
KenCCID has been providing housing services in Philadelphia for over 40 years.
Our homes are conveniently located to provide many opportunities for cultural and social activities. They’re close to shopping, sporting events, theaters, museums, and easily accessible to all major Philadelphia attractions. Each home has an assigned vehicle to provide transportation for its residents. We currently operate 34 homes. Each home is staffed 24 hours a day, 7 days a week by our well-trained and caring professionals. We ensure the rights, safety, and well-being of individuals are protected and observed at all times.
Some of our staff have been with us for as long as 38 years, and we have individuals who have been living with us for over 40 years — they have truly become “Our Family.”
Many of the people we support choose to work. KenCCID works with numerous employers in the Philadelphia area. We provide Community Integration Employment Services, which include; Individualized Work Assessments, On and Off-Site Job Search Assistance, Job Coaches, and Job Development.
An Individualized Work Assessment explores what a person likes to do, what they are good at doing, and what they want to do. Together with the help of staff, they will create a plan to move in the direction of obtaining employment in the areas identified.
Job Search Assistance can be done on-site, using computers to research prospective employment information and to apply to positions. Job searches can also be done off-site, with staff who support individuals who would like to find a position by going into the community.
Job Coaches are trained to assist people who have obtained jobs. Coaches identify workplace supports and facilitate the right type and intensity of support to help someone become successful. The goal is always to achieve independence, but the individual determines the timeline based on their needs.
Our Job Developer works diligently with people who are new to our program. They identify prospective employers and form partnerships with community businesses. For people who would rather not “work,” the Job Developer can identify different volunteer opportunities.The options are plentiful!! Many of those we support have been working in their positions for years; Bobby has been with his employer for over 29 years.
Our team is here to support you in finding a position that will enhance your day to day life.
It is OUR HOPE that YOU will become the newest member of our KenCCID FAMILY!!
