Community Living Burlington

At Community Living Burlington, the mission is clear: to provide support and inclusion for individuals with developmental disabilities. This person-centered agency believes that everyone they support should have a say in the decisions that shape their lives.

“We believe in making sure that anybody we support is included in the community and completely in charge of the decisions they make in their lives,” says Allyssa Lippold, Day Services Manager at Community Living Burlington.

Programs That Empower

Community Living Burlington’s day program offers unique opportunities for individuals to learn new skills and express their creativity. One standout project involves creating recycled pallet signs, where participants take on different roles like sanding, painting, and coming up with designs.

The finished products are then sold, allowing the individuals to see the full cycle of their work. Another program focuses on teaching skills that can lead to other employment opportunities.

“We aren’t a state-of-the-art agency,” Allyssa admits. “But we have what we need, and we’re always striving to make things better and more practical.”

Right Tool for the Job

When it came to finding a system that could help them improve their operations, Community Living Burlington turned to Inclusion System.

“Inclusion System has been so helpful,” Allyssa says. “As a manager, it’s our most-used tool. It’s super easy to navigate and also really user-friendly. So, even if you’re not necessarily on the cutting edge of technology, it’s an approachable system that will give you everything you need.”

Bonnie Ora, Residential Manager, especially appreciates the time savings the system has brought to her day-to-day work. “I don’t love scheduling,” she says, “but Inclusion has made it a lot easier. I can spend more time with the people I support now, and I’ve probably cut my desk time in half.”

The Power of ShiftShark

One of the biggest game-changers for Bonnie has been ShiftShark, a feature within Inclusion System that allows her to manage shifts in seconds.

“We’ve gone from calling thirty people one by one to using ShiftShark, which allows us to send out one quick message. It’s easy—it takes 30 seconds—and it goes directly to my schedule. I don’t have to manually update it,” explains Bonnie.

More Time for What Matters

For Allyssa and Bonnie, Inclusion System has made a significant difference in their roles. “We have so much on our plates as managers,” Bonnie says. “Inclusion has been an incredible time-saver. It has made our jobs so much better.”

Allyssa and Bonnie recommend Inclusion System without hesitation. “If you’re even considering switching systems, book a demo with Inclusion. It’s truly the best program out there.”
