Great Escapes is a group that plans monthly events--on site parties, picnics, field trips, and shopping excursions.  These events take place on the last Friday of the month.

 

 

Activities are organized on a regular basis that provide the consumers with positive social experiences, an introduction to the larger community and travel training. These fun activities also help build a supportive community.

The Education Department at CAL develops and coordinates a number of “Learning Groups” which focus on various skills and interests.  These include health skills (exercise, nutrition, medication),  money (budgeting, saving, shopping, impulse purchases),  appearance (grooming and hygiene, hair, eye, and skin care, appropriate dress) and holiday, and travel event planning.

 

The Education Department is also responsible for preparing clients to vote in elections.  Candidates and ballot propositions are reviewed, and clients are encouraged to really think abut the issues.  The importance of voting, and how it impacts their lives is emphasized.

Clients generally take their medications at 8:30 am, and 4:00 pm.
