Local Man Celebrates A Mile Stone (Literally) Over The Weekend
For Amador County Families using the services of the United Cerebral Palsy of San Joaquin, Calaveras and Amador
Counties, life just got a little easier with the announcement of an opening of
a chapter office in San Andreas. Not
only are serves now offered in a new convenient location much closer to home
than the Stockton
headquarters, the UCP Chapter is looking for expansion ideas as well. They
would love to hear from families about what services and information local
residents would like to see closer to home.
The new San Andreas Office is designed to serve Mother
Lode residents with cerebral palsy or other developmental disabilities. United Cerebral Palsy
provides a variety of programs and services to over 1800 children and adults
every day throughout San Joaquin, Calaveras, and Amador Counties. Persons served include those
with cerebral palsy as well as those with other neurological disabilities like
traumatic brain injury, epilepsy, autism, and mental retardation. A variety of
services are offered at the new office, including services that help family
members who are caring for a loved one, supportive employment, supportive
living and respite care. The new office is located in the Calaveras Senior
Center building at 956 Mountain Ranch Rd.
It is open on weekdays from 8am to 5pm. For more information you can call 754-1753 or go the regional website
