February 4,2015 City of Pleasanton Community Development Department Planning Division PO Box 520 Pleasanton, CA 94566 Re: Operational Statement for Social Vocational Services Dear Community Development Department, We are Social Vocational Services (SVS), a private non-profit California corporation, which provides skills and vocational training to adults with Developmental Disabilities. Our program offices are licensed by California Department of Developmental Services, Community Care Licensing, in the category of adult day care. We offer our clients 5. 5 hours of programming daily, Monday-Friday. Programming includes supported employment and off-site activities. Most of our clients attend 5 days a week. Our adult day care activities are both community and facility based. Our consumers are assisted in exploring such areas as communication, computer skills, interviewing skills, personal appearance and use of adaptive devices. Additional on site activities include art studio work, music exploration, horticulture and physical fitness. Community based activities are primarily employment opportunities/contracts but also include field trips to businesses of interest to our consumers, visiting the library, bowling and BBQ's in nearby parks. Approximately half our clients/staff remain in the community at supported employments locations or participating in off-site activities. The maximum number of people in the facility for the day would not exceed 43, consisting of 30 clients, 10 direct service professionals and 3 administrative staff. They are organized into groups. A "group"consists of one staff member and 3 clients. Typically there would be one or two groups per activity room (8 people), and as many as 5 groups (20 people) in the kitchen at lunch time. Also, occasionally there might be as many as five groups (20 people)together for a special program being offered, for example if an art instructor visited and instructed the clients on a special arts project or there was a birthday/holiday celebration The proposed facility in Pleasanton would consist of the following rooms: Library- Reading or listening to books and magazines and then discussion of related topics. Career/job research, guidance & resources. Planning of weeks schedule. Scrapbooking. Art Room- Painting, drawing, crafts—small scale creativity.
