Siti and Jido Park Foundation

Day Habilitation Services - Life Works Community is a day habilitation facility that focuses on including clients in the community by teaching life skills, providing immersive experiences in the community, providing opportunities for social interaction both at the facility and in the general community. In addition, we facilitate volunteer opportunities for our clients to be of service in the community. We serve an average of 37 clients daily at our facility. During 2022, we provided the Denton community with over 8,600 hours of community volunteer service. During our days we teach work or home related skills, such as cooking, sewing, cleaning, and manufacturing assembly. We also include activities to encourage healthy lifestyles by including clients in meal planning, providing daily exercise classes and instruction on utilizing medical care options and making good choices in relationships.

Currently we have 9 full-time residents and provide the opportunity for other clients and families to have periods of respite, so that the client can experience time away from the nuclear family and begin to make choices of an independent nature. In the homes clients can learn about planning meals, shopping on a budget preparing meals, keeping a home environment healthy, clean and orderly. During 2022 we had 9 clients utilizing our homes as residents.
