Meaningful Progress Notes – Progress notes are more than just paperwork or compliance—they tell the story of the people we support. They show how each person is learning, growing, and making choices in their daily lives.

Education, Experience, Exposure – In our work, helping the people we support reach their goals goes beyond completing tasks or following routines. True growth happens when individuals have opportunities to learn new skills, practice them in real-life situations, and experience meaningful activities that broaden their horizons. That’s where the concept of the 3 E’s — Education, Experience, and Exposure — comes in.

Office Hours offer an open forum for discussing all things related to Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) and typically run for about 90 minutes. Our sessions have been insightful and engaging, and we look forward to building on that momentum. Each session begins with a 15-minute overview of a key HCBS topic. We cover expectations outlined in the HCBS Final Rule, and offer tools and resources to support provider compliance. Following the presentation, you are encouraged to engage in open dialogue—ask questions, share challenges, or request specific resources. Whether you’re seeking clarity on compliance requirements or looking for practical tools, these sessions are designed to support your journey toward full alignment with the HCBS Final Rule. We look forward to your participation and the valuable conversations to come. Register at https://www.beyondcompliancesupports.com/
