Wyoming Life Resource Center

Wyoming Life Resource Center (WLRC) is a residential community with therapeutic and medical support services. This 24-hour care, 365 days a year Intermediate Care Facility for People with Intellectual Disability (ICF/ID) serves people with intellectual disabilities, exceptionally difficult behaviors, and who are hard to place. It is home to state of the art care, learning, and job opportunities.

WLRC is licensed as an Intermediate Care Facility for people with disabilities. Each person served has an individual plan for training, work, healthcare, and recreation. Residence homes are for three to nine individuals each. They provide a comfortable, family-like setting in an accessible neighborhood. Independence is promoted in life skills, community access, social interaction, and leisure activities.

WLRC strives to provide the least restrictive, most appropriate, most integrated environment possible with informed choice. An important component of the Active Treatment required by ICF/ID is providing training opportunities necessary for the highest level of independence possible. Job exploration, paid work, social and communication skills, and behavior supports are part of the opportunities based on each individual’s needs, interests and abilities.

A variety of therapeutic services are available including physicians, RN’s, physical therapists, occupational therapists, speech therapists, behavior specialists, therapeutic recreation specialists, dietitian, chaplain and other specialty services. The Professional Development Center on campus provides training for caregivers and healthcare professionals.
