Caprock is a long-term behavior and treatment program for people with developmental disabilities who have demonstrated extensive behavioral challenges. They are people who have taken advantage of others or engaged in behaviors that are not acceptable in society. The length of time a client spends in the program depends on his willingness to change inappropriate behaviors and progress in client specific treatment. The Caprock program is designed to encourage the client to change behavior and thinking patterns. The client will learn to effectively communicate with others and learn how to control inappropriate thoughts and behaviors. The client will participate in treatment and education programs designed to help him gain control over his behaviors and thinking patterns. The goal is for the client to learn new ways to handle problems and to develop appropriate relationships with others. Caprock provides residential and host home habilitation services and is designed to support and educate clients utilizing an individualistic approach in a community based setting. The Residential Program consists of a three bedroom Personal Care Alternatives (PCA) where supervision is provided twenty four hours a day. PCA is a residential service provided in a non-group home setting for one to three people with developmental disabilities. The term relates only to the number of people living together and not to the level of need or services provided. In the Host Home Model, a provider agency has been allowed to subcontract with a host family to provide residential services. The host home provider is an individual who is not a family member who provides residential supports in his/her home to persons receiving comprehensive services. The Host Home program is a highly structured community based program that allows the client to progress to a less restrictive environment.
