At Southern Choices of the Coast, we’re intentional about the caregivers we pair with each individual. We look beyond availability and consider personality, communication style, interests, support needs, and the kind of connection that can help someone feel comfortable, understood, and encouraged.

The right match can make a meaningful difference in the care someone receives and in the relationship that grows along the way.

A favorite place. A new friendship. A hobby they’re proud of. A community where they feel known and welcomed.

That’s what meaningful inclusion can look like.
Through our ongoing partnership with Craftabilitie Through our ongoing partnership with Craftabilities, individuals and families come together every other Wednesday for small art projects, painting, coloring, writing, and time spent creating alongside one another.

We’re grateful for spaces like this that make room for self-expression, community, and meaningful connection.

As Supervisor of Quality and Improvement, Mary Jo’ As Supervisor of Quality and Improvement, Mary Jo’s role is really about making sure the care Southern Choices provides stays both person-centered and accountable.

She helps caregivers apply person-centered thinking in their day-to-day work while also making sure documentation and therapies meet state requirements.

A big part of that approach is challenging the assumption that a disability defines what someone can or cannot do. Instead, the focus is on understanding both what is important to the individual and what is important for them, then building support around that balance.

That mindset helps ensure care is not just compliant, but genuinely centered on the person receiving it.
Boots on, smiles big, and plenty of fun! We had s Boots on, smiles big, and plenty of fun!

We had such an amazing time with our friends at Faith Equestrian! From putting on our cowboy boots to taking a turn riding the bull, the day was filled with laughter, excitement, and unforgettable moments.

We’re so grateful for partnerships like Faith Equestrian that give the individuals we serve opportunities to try new things, build confidence, connect with others, and most importantly, have FUN!

Thank you, Faith Equestrian, for creating such a welcoming and memorable experience for our SC Coastal community. We can’t wait for the next adventure!
October gives us two pretty special reasons to cel October gives us two pretty special reasons to celebrate. 💙

National Disability Employment Awareness Month is a reminder of the importance of creating workplaces where individuals of all abilities have the opportunity to contribute, grow, connect, and be recognized for what they bring to the team.

And this month, we’re also celebrating Alex’s 2nd Workiversary with Southern Choices of the Coast! Alex brings so much joy to our office, and we’re grateful for everything he adds to our team and our days.

Here’s to meaningful employment, inclusive workplaces, and two great years with Alex. Happy Workiversary!

It is the opportunity to be present, participate, build relationships, and belong.

That is the standard we work toward at Southern Choices of the Coast.

Meaningful moments are often found in the simple t Meaningful moments are often found in the simple things—getting out, trying something new, sharing a laugh, and enjoying time together.

For the individuals we support, community outings are opportunities to build confidence, practice independence, strengthen connections, and create experiences that feel truly their own.

We’re grateful to our caregivers who help make these moments possible and to the individuals we serve who remind us that belonging means being able to participate, connect, and enjoy the community around us.
By day 30 with the right provider, something impor By day 30 with the right provider, something important should feel different.

You are still the parent. You are still the advocate. You still know your loved one better than anyone.

But you should not have to be the caregiver, coordinator, trainer, problem-solver, and entire support system all at once.

The right provider does not take your place. They help expand your loved one’s support system so care can become more consistent, more person-centered, and more focused on independence, inclusion, communication, and the goals that matter most.

At Southern Choices of the Coast, our goal is to support the individual while also giving families more room to simply be family.

From community outings to everyday adventures, our individuals and caregivers are building confidence, creating memories, and enjoying meaningful time together.

Community-based care is about more than getting out of the house. It is about connection, independence, belonging, and giving each person more opportunities to experience the world around them in ways that feel meaningful.

We are grateful the individuals who remind us how much joy can come from simply being part of the community.
Deaf Awareness Week is about more than raising awa Deaf Awareness Week is about more than raising awareness. It’s about listening, learning, and creating spaces where everyone can communicate, connect, and feel included.

Deaf people don’t need fixing. Barriers do.

This week, we celebrate the Deaf community, recognize the importance of accessibility, and encourage all of us to keep learning how we can make our communities more inclusive.
Earlier this month, our team had the opportunity t Earlier this month, our team had the opportunity to attend the DBHDD 2026 DD Learning Collaborative, centered around this year’s theme: Defining the Future: Reimagining Support and Belonging.
Over three days, conversations focused on topics like autism, engagement, self-advocacy, trauma-informed practices, and how we can continue improving the way individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities are supported.

We’re always grateful for opportunities to learn alongside others in the field, exchange ideas, and bring new perspectives back to the work we do every day at Southern Choices of the Coast.

Because better support starts with continuing to learn, grow, and listen to the individuals and families we serve.
Communication is more than the words we speak. Fo Communication is more than the words we speak.

For International Day of Sign Languages, we’re recognizing Gwen and Coletta, who have been taking sign language classes to better communicate with and support the individuals they work with.

Gwen is also preparing to take the Sign Language Proficiency Interview (SLPI), an important next step in her learning.

Gwen and Coletta’s dedication is a great example of meeting people where they are and making communication more accessible and inclusive.

Today, we celebrate the Deaf and hard-of-hearing community and the many ways we connect, communicate, and understand one another.

Every voice deserves to be understood, no matter how it’s expressed.
Good care often means knowing when to bring more p Good care often means knowing when to bring more people into the conversation.

Sometimes an individual may need added behavior support. Other times, nursing oversight may be needed to look more closely at concerns like frequent falls, bowel issues, seizures, blood pressure, weight changes, or possible medication side effects.

Our Clinical Supervisor, Shelly, works alongside caregivers, families, and physicians to monitor those changes, communicate concerns, and help make sure support is adjusted when needed.

That collaboration matters because no single person should be expected to see the full picture alone. Quality care comes from a team paying attention, sharing information, and responding to what the individual needs.
