Boarding Home Outreach 

The Boarding Home Outreach Program provides services to Atlantic County’s 16 Boarding Homes and Residential Health Care Facilities. A team of peer helpers schedule visits to each home in order to explain the social and recreational services being offered by the program in conjunction with the ICE Self Help Center.  

Trained BHO staff will work to encourage residents to take advantage of these social and recreational opportunities. Often times an encouraging word may help someone decide to participate.

Transportation   

Transportation is provided to the self-help center several days per week by the use of agency vehicles. Each Boarding Home should know their schedule. 

Often times special trips are arranged such as camping, visits to local cultural events, attendance at sporting events etc.. When these events are scheduled, the Self-Help Center staff to arrange pick up points for the buses that are used for transportation.
