OHI

Adult Services: serving adults with intellectual disabilities, Autism and autism-spectrum disorders and/or mental illness through residential programs, employment/community inclusion programs, case management services, clubhouse, food pantry, and homeless outreach programs.

At OHI, we know people with mental illness often have a hard time finding safe and affordable housing. Co-occurring mental health and substance abuse disorders can make it even harder. We see it all around us, every day.

Sometimes, homelessness occurs after a psychiatric episode – when people act out in ways that lead to eviction – and homelessness is a common situation for people re-entering the community from hospitalization or incarceration. We also know a safe living situation is essential before people can move ahead and become productive and more independent members of the community.

OHI offers a variety of services designed to help people with disabilities access affordable housing…and keep it.

Population(s) Served
Adults
People with disabilities

OHI supports adults with intellectual disabilities throughout the greater Bangor area with our home and community-based waiver services. Whether it’s in our 24-hour Residential Support Program or the Individualized Personal Support Program, each service is individually customized based upon personal needs. Comfort, stability, safety, and room for individual growth are at the core of OHI’s 24-hour Residential Services Program.

OHI assists with daily living skills such as hygiene, cooking, medication administration, and guidance in maintaining a healthy and positive living space. Financial management and accountability are also enhanced. Also, OHI focuses on each individual’s social and community integration skills, such as employment, school, public transportation, volunteerism, while providing an environment that supports positive life choices.

People with disabilities

OHI is approved by the Maine Department of Health and Human Services to provide community case management for adults with intellectual disabilities in six Maine counties — Penobscot, Piscataquis, Somerset, Hancock, Washington, and Waldo.

We have a two-fold purpose at OHI. To offer people with disabilities the opportunity to make life choices, set their own goals, and provide the resources they need to work toward those goals.

We believe that with the right resources, everyone can live more independently and contribute to society and their community. OHI case managers work individually with each person to develop a support plan, advocate for needs, link services, and monitor progress.

Case management services and support plans include many aspects and specifically help people with intellectual disabilities to:
Increase independence.
Find ways to become involved in their communities.
Make good decisions, so they stay healthy and safe.
Make use of natural support.
Learn to be strong

Balance sheet

Fiscal Year: Jul 01 - Jun 30

SOURCE: IRS Form 990

The balance sheet gives a snapshot of the financial health of an organization at a particular point in time. An organization's total assets should generally exceed its total liabilities, or it cannot survive long, but the types of assets and liabilities must also be considered. For instance, an organization's current assets (cash, receivables, securities, etc.) should be sufficient to cover its current liabilities (payables, deferred revenue, current year loan, and note payments). Otherwise, the organization may face solvency problems. On the other hand, an organization whose cash and equivalents greatly exceed its current liabilities might not be putting its money to best use.
