Staffing Ratios and Support
Summit Community Center operates on a 1:4 staff ratio (1 staff per 4 members). This is our standard of operations and staff are assigned throughout the center based on member needs for true activity engagement and participation.
“Bring Your Own Independence” - The SCC is not able to provide 1:1 support to it’s members. This includes individual support for self-care, medical, safety, or behavioral reasons.
As part of our intake process for participants whose support needs may fall near the limits of our staffing model, Summit may implement a 30-day assessment period. During this time, staff will evaluate whether we are able to safely and consistently support the participant within our group staffing ratios across a variety of activities, environments, and situations. At any point during this assessment period, if it becomes clear that the participant’s support needs exceed what Summit is able to provide within our staffing model, we will meet with the family to discuss next steps and appropriate funding or service options.
