Residential Support
People Incorporated's Residential Services offer a range of home environments which foster independence, growth and community inclusion in the Fall River Area. Increasing individual choices and fostering independence are the goals of all our residences. Each person served within the residential program receives the amount of support needed for that person to live as independently as possible. While some individuals may need twenty-four hours of support, others may require only one to two hours a day.
Vocational Training
Throughout the Greater Fall River, Massachusetts area, people are working.
The Vocational Division of People Incorporated recognizes the uniqueness of every individual and group employment situation. We work closely with everyone involved to ensure successful and meaningful work experiences. Training is based on individual needs and interests.
Employees of the program work at developing new work and social skills, increasing work tolerance, and exploring career opportunities. Choices in programming include skill training in a workshop setting, community/social experience, exploring volunteer work, supported employment and job placement.
Work Program Services (Troy Productions) are offered at 900 Riggenbach Road in the Industrial Park of Fall River, Massachusetts. Sub- contract work from local companies is procured to provide training and employment to those individuals who seek to improve their work and social skills in a supervised setting. Within this setting, clinical, therapeutic, educational, volunteer and career services can also be explored.
Volunteer placement provides an opportunity for a trainee to:
- Explore career interests and opportunities
