Social Recreation

 

One of our initiatives is our Social/Recreational program.  Every month, FFN-GC, in collaboration with community resources, provides activities, classes, and recreational opportunities for its members.  
 

How to participate-​

Monthly activities are shown on the Activities and Registration page on this website. 

​

Individuals must complete a registration packet before joining an activity.  There is no fee for the packet. ​Small fee payments are required for most activities, ranging from $5 to $15. Fees can be private pay, or individuals with waivers may pay fees through their waiver.

In some cases, activities may involve physical activities such as walking up stairs, but we try to accommodate physical limitations.  Individuals must complete a registration packet before joining an activity.  There is no charge for the packet.

 

For additional information or help registering for an activity, contact us at info@ffn-gc.org or call 614-451-9473.

HELPTeam
 

A second initiative of FFN-GC is our HelpTEAM program.  HelpTEAM provides individualized in-home support services provided by certified providers.

An individualized service plan (ISP) is developed with the family, participant, and the HelpTEAM administrator and support staff. All interpersonal and social support is included in the written ISP plan.

Participants in the program can expect the following:​ 

• An ISP tailored to their needs that is reviewed and updated annually or more often to reflect the evolving needs of participants over time.

• County-certified HelpTEAM support staff to provide services one-on-one in the participants’ home or engage with others out in the community.     

• Access to on-call or flexible service support, as well as regularly scheduled services.

• Transportation options are available. 
  
  
  How to receive HelpTEAM services-​​​​

• Please contact us to arrange for an in-person visit. Families need to start early so that participants are not troubled as a parent or guardian ages out of their role as primary caregiver.  Early engagement, including the development of an individualized service plan (ISP), is critical.

• Participants in the HelpTEAM program may use private pay at FFN-GC’s very competitive hourly rates, or they can use SELF, Level One, or an IO waiver. No minimum hourly blocks required.

• Participants should be skilled in all basic self-care areas, including dressing, hygiene, toileting, mobility, nutrition, housekeeping, medication management, mental awareness, and controlled behavior. Participants may occasionally require more comprehensive care, and HelpTEAM is available to assist in identifying suitable support resources.
