LIFESolutions’ Psychosocial Rehabilitation Services centers provide opportunities for adults to experience a work-ordered day in a variety of environments. These centers also provide many services to members including daily meals, housekeeping services and clerical support, as well as education on a variety of topics. All these services are provided by members with the support of unit leaders.
