Réalta’s Day Opportunity Hub
Our Adult Day Service is guided by the New Directions Standards. Our Services focus on empowerment, continuity, inclusion and meaningful social roles.
We support all individuals over the age of 18 years old with achieving their goals, including educational courses or topics such as but not limited to independent living skills, money management, self-advocacy and social skills.
Vocational skills including creating a CV, completing work experience, volunteering, and interview skills are some people’s focus when they attend our services. Other objectives include being an active member of the community and engaging in daily activities, including yoga, swimming, bowling and socializing. Our team work closely with each individual, preparing them for taking on opportunities further afield and outside the realms of the day centre.
We encourage and support individuals at various stages of their lives to participate in opportunities with regards to health and wellbeing through sport and recreation Profile of service users attending/criteria:
Our Day Services support Adults with Mild to Moderate Intellectual Disabilities, ADHD, Autism-Spectrum Disorder and Mental Health Disorders but not limited to this. The service users that we support are of school-leaver age, usually from 18 years plus.
Many individuals utilize such services as a stepping stone towards independent living and gaining specific skills to reach your goals in life. To make this happen, we work within a person-cantered approach using their immediate circle of support where appropriate, with a range of healthcare professionals and community-based services.
Our services are guided by and delivered in line with the HSE’s ‘New Directions’, which empowers individuals to make choices and plans to support their own personal goals by incorporating this into their PCP plan. Note on how the service adheres to New Directions, PCP Framework etc. At Réalta we are committed to ensuring that the New Directions Standards and Person-Cantered Planning Framework are implemented across all of our Day Services.
We believe that our Day Services should take the form of individualised outcome-focused supports to allow adults using our services to live a life of their choosing in accordance with their own wishes, needs and aspirations. Our values of Compassion, and Respect underpin all supports offered to the individuals who attend our service. We promote the philosophy of empowerment, capacity building and place each individual at the centre of all decision-making in relation to their own life choices to secure better outcomes for their future while supported in a safe and secure environment.
