Today, key staff from the Ohio Provider Resource Association will be touring the Charles SmartHome. Tomorrow, Dr. Sharon Jacksi, from the Colorado State Division for Developmental Disabilities, will be touring the home.
The desire of so many organizations, both in Colorado and nationally, to learn about this project serves as another reminder of how Imagine!'s SmartHomes continue to be recognized as an innovative way to improve the efficiency and quality of services in the developmental disability field.
Now that the residents have moved in, we will be setting a formalized schedule for tours in the future. While we certainly recognize that the Charles SmartHome is a “show home” of sorts, we also are very aware of the fact that the folks living there can’t be “on call” to do tours any day and time of the week. They need to go to their jobs, or to their neighborhood activities, or visit
with friends and family.
In short, they need the ability to engage fully in the community. That is Imagine!’s mission, and that’s why we built the Charles SmartHome, and that’s why we’re building another SmartHome in Longmont.
Guided tours of the Charles SmartHome will be available to the public starting in August. More details will be posted on the SmartHomes website soon.
