Narrative

Our services are based on the belief that the person with the disability is the primary decision-maker in their lives. Everyone deserves dignity and our respect. Person-centered training and support services lead to everyone's growth and goals. Encouraging and supporting family involvement and fostering relationships is essential for personal well being.

24-Hour Support Group Homes


Over sixty people are currently supported in 11 homes. Each home is uniquely designed in terms of staffing, layout, location, and the level of emotional and educational assistance provided. Bedrooms are chosen and decorated to the person's personal likes and tastes. The common areas such as living room, dining room and kitchen reflect the collective tastes of all the roommates. Support plans are also individualized. They range in focus from skill areas such as money management and health care management, to planning a dream vacation.

In Home Supports  Apartments & Houses

Approximately 24 people are supported to live in a more independent setting in apartments and homes in local communities. People in the Supported Living Program receive between four and twenty hours of Mentor support each week. Support plans are based on a person's need. They learn and improve daily living skills. People increase community involvement or learn about healthier lifestyles.

Our residential programs are monitored for quality by our Residential Committee, our Board of Directors, our Human Rights Committee and by the Department of Developmental Disabilities (DDS).

Referrals for residential services are through DDS.
