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.
