Momentum Refresh Program:

First mobile resource in the USA providing dignity, full inclusion, and accessibility with quality restrooms in the community. While the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) was a monumental moment for humanity, tools to help people have evolved.

One in 4 adults has a disability that affects mobility. For the more than 8.4 million people who require assistance with personal care, an ADA-compliant restroom is insufficient.

  • First Responder: Act as the first point of contact to address and resolve any urgent situations, including behavioral issues, medical emergencies, or unexpected challenges that may arise.
  • Individualized Support: Provide personalized care and support to clients based on their unique needs, assisting with activities of daily living, personal care, and behavioral interventions.
  • Documentation: Maintain accurate records and documentation of client progress, incidents, and interactions according to established procedures and protocols.
  • Community Integration: Encourage and support clients in participating in community activities, fostering social connections, and promoting inclusion.
