Serving individuals with Developmental Disabilities since 1985
WELCOME TO THE NEW VISTAS PROGRAMS
A MESSAGE FROM OUR AGENCY DIRECTORS
Founded in 1985, Specialized Health Services, opened its doors with the mission of helping adults with developmental, intellectual, and mental health challenges receive the essential behavioral and emotional support services needed for them to realize their hopes and dreams. Today the agency leaders of Specialized Health Services supported by an amazing group of staff members continue to carry out this mission for the consumers they are fortunate and grateful to serve. Specialized Health Services is committed to devising new and creative ways to enhance the services provided to the consumers and ultimately the overall quality of their lives.
DURING 2020 THROUGH EARLY 2022
During the onset of the Coronavirus, our world had changed immensely. Here at SHS we had to adapt to the closure of our three-day programs due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The day programs were closed on March 18, 2020 and within two weeks all programs were providing day program services remotely. Since in-person contact was not an option any longer, staff reached out to all our consumers via phone, Facetime and Zoom classes. through these modalities, we were able to make regular contact with over 95% of our consumers. In rare cases, the consumer or family declined contact. After a few months, we increased our contact by conducting at-home visits, which occur only outside the consumer’s home following strict protocols developed by the County of Los Angeles Department of Health.
