Program Description

Residential Services are also available for DORS consumers receiving VR services from community programs who live too far away to commute to their program daily.

Generally, WTC is open from 4:30 p.m. on Sundays through Fridays at 4:30 p.m. for residents. Breakfast, lunch and dinner are provided in the WTC cafeteria during the stay. There is no dinner service Sunday or Friday evenings.
