Narrative
Independent living and communication skills training.
MCB works with consumers to show them ways to navigate their world and how to use technology to improve their independence. People receive services in their own homes, while living with others, in senior residences, assisted living, or in a nursing home. A social worker helps in picking the services most appropriate to each person’s needs and arranges, coordinates, and follows through with an ISP (individual service plan).
