Program areas at Casa Central Social Services Corporation
Senior Services: language and cultural barriers often make the challenges that many seniors face even more difficult for hispanic seniors and their loved ones. Casa Central's continuum of senior programs accommodates the special needs of hispanic seniors through a bilingual/bicultural approach while encouraging them to maintain an active vital role in their community, and facilitating the transitions from one level of care to the next.these Services consist of adult day Services, and home care Services for home-bound seniors.
Intact family Services: this family centered program allows children to remain safely at home, rather than being placed in substitute care. Our home-based, family-centered program works to improve family communication, points the way to community resources, and teaches positive coping skills to help keep families together. Comprehensive casework and supportive Services such as homemaker Services, counseling, parent education, day care, emergency assistance, and medical assistance help to sustain and protect these family units.
Children and youth Services: inner-city hispanic children and youth endure a multitude of challenges including poverty, violence, low educational expectations, and inadequate access to technology. Through full-day child development and after school programming, Casa Central's programs for children and youth focus on the importance of healthy physical, emotional and intellectual child development. Emphasis is placed on the role of parents in the development process and the importance of building self-esteem, confidence and a positive self-image.these Services include head start Services and day care, and programs for school age children, youth and adolescents.
La posada interim housing for families experiencing homelessness: la posada's main goal is to restore families who are experiencing homelessness to stable and permanent living situations by providing interim housing for up to 120 days. In addition to housing, la posada provides case management and support Services to identify each family's strengths and needs, thereby addressing the root causes of homelessness and preventing recurrence.
