Our Programs
COMMUNITY INTEGRATED LIVING ARRANGEMENT (CILA): This program consists of three residential programs serving up to 18 adults with epilepsy and/or other developmental disabilities who need help in day to day living (24 hours a day).

COMMUNITY SUPPORTED LIVING ARRANGEMENT (CSLA): This program offers a bridge between living at home and complete independence for 2 adults with epilepsy and developmental disabilities.  Comprehensive case management and sometimes multiple weekly visits are necessary for our consumers.

CLIENT AND FAMILY SUPPORT SERVICES: This program offers client and family support services for individuals diagnosed with epilepsy, their families, and the community at large.  Case managers provide information and referral, comprehensive case management, advocacy, counseling, financial planning assistance, support groups, medical liason, and community education to approximately 36 registered consumers.  This program also offers epilepsy public education for anyone interested in the subject of epilepsy.  Unregistered consumers may also call for information and the agency serves approximately 1,200 of these individuals a year.  Anyone who contacts the EFGSI is provided with the most up-to-date information on resources in the community.

CAMP ROEHR: This program is a seven day residential camp for children designed to meet the special needs of children diagnosed with epilepsy, providing a safe and fun-filled camp experience.  Over the years this program has served up to a maximum of 45 children at the camp.

HOME BASED SERVICES (HBS): This program is designed to offer an array of non-residential support services such as respite, therapy services, day training programs, transportation, and nursing services through the coordination by EFGSI's HBS team leader.  The program is open for adults and children in the community.
