Members, with the support of a professional staff, plan and prepare meals daily, schedule field trips, and plan social activities.  Referrals are made to the program from local management entities and case managers. Each individual has a person-centered plan which directs services provided while at the Unity House program.  Referrals must be 21 and older.
