Community Access & Inclusion

At AGILE Cares, we provide person-centered community access and inclusion support that helps individuals participate in activities, build meaningful relationships, explore their interests, and remain connected to their communities. Our support is shaped around each person's preferences, goals, abilities, and level of independence.

What Community Access & Inclusion Means

Community access and inclusion support helps individuals take part in everyday activities and opportunities outside the home. This can include recreation, social activities, community events, faith communities, employment-related activities, transportation, and other experiences that are meaningful to the individual.

At AGILE Cares, we believe individuals should have opportunities to participate in their communities, make personal choices, develop relationships, and pursue activities that reflect their interests and goals.
