Davis Summer House

This Community Care Licensed (570317743), Adult Residential Facility (ARF) is home for 12 adults with developmental disabilities. Located in progressive and bustling city of Davis, this home has successfully operated from this site since 1993. With the help of HUD funding, this facility opened because of the success of the Woodland Summer House. Summer House Inc. chose to open it in Davis to meet the needs of people living in Davis who were looking for placement, so they could stay close to their family, friends, and community.

The purpose of the Davis Summer House is to provide 24-hour support and supervision to adults with developmental disabilities. We focus on the different needs, wants, and abilities of residents without defining people by their disabilities. Our primary focus areas are to support people with the development of daily living skills, independent decision-making, problem solving, and community involvement. We also provide assistance with self-help skills and behavior management.

Our staff are carefully chosen and well trained to provide high quality care and support to people who live in the home. We use various forms of communication and teaching to support people including the following: demonstration, verbal instruction and cues, visual prompts (charts, checklists and instructive picture tools), modeling, role-playing, teaching in natural environments, and hand over hand instruction.

In addition to a well-trained and enthusiastic staff, Summer House provides an accessible, safe, clean, comfortable home. All residents have the privacy of their own bedrooms and for many, private baths. Residents may have a private telephone in their rooms, which they pay privately for at low Life-Line rates, and individual cable TV connection, which Summer House pays. A common telephone and cable TV in a common area is provided. The residents consider Davis Summer House to be their home and, with staff support, they participate in the cleaning and maintenance of the home.
