Eldridge Community Services - Program 7 has four service divisions

Supported Employment Services:

Service Goal: To provide individuals who have developed a successful foundation of vocational skills the opportunity to be employed in a training experience at a community-based site - in a corporation or other business; and to provide these individuals with the services and supports they need in order to further develop their job skills. Services: Supported Employment Services offers community-based opportunities for paid employment through Sunrise Industries, in partnership with local businesses. Sunrise Industries has developed these partnerships to provide qualified individuals with on-site work. Assistive technology and work modifications are available, based on need.

Vocational Services:

Service Goal: To provide a wide array of paid employment options that allow individuals to select areas of work that meet their interests, while providing employees with on-the-job training to develop work skills and prepare for future work opportunities.

Vocational Services offers a variety of paid employment opportunities through Sunrise Industries. Employment opportunities include, but are not limited to: light assembly, packaging, recycling, plant propagation, letter shop, and janitorial services. Individuals' work stations and work tasks are individually modified with adaptations and jigs based on needs.

Senior Services

Senior activities include arts and crafts, cooking, gardening, exercise, music, table games, relaxation, special events, community inter-generational experiences, and seasonal and holiday events. Environments and activities are modified for the continued success of the individual.
