Our Residential Program offers individuals with developmental disabilities the opportunity to live in a group home with 24 hour supervised assistance and care. Independent Living facilities include a male and a female group home. Each residence has the capacity to accommodate nine tenants with all the comforts of home. Each resident has an individual bedroom, and shares a bathroom with one other resident. Common living areas include a large kitchen, dining room, living room, laundry room, and back yard with patio. Our residents enjoy such activities as volleyball, basketball, board games, singing, dancing, going to the movies, and other field trips.

Like our Waiver participants, every group home resident receives assistance through a specialized Plan of Care. The Plan of Care is developed with an aim of helping residents achieve maximum independence by identifying the Self-Care, Socialization, and Adaptive skills they need to live in the community. Residential staff members work with residents to strengthen those skills, with the hope that the need for services will eventually be reduced or eliminated altogether. For example, a Plan of Care may indicate the resident needs staff to assist them with such tasks as laundry, grooming, housekeeping, money management, shopping, meal preparation, etc.
