 Overview of Residential Service (Group Home)

The group home(s) will provide therapy, 24-hour supervision and support to developmental disabilities adults ages 21 and older in a home-like setting. Unlike large residential treatment facilities or psychiatric hospitals, the group home will serve a small number of adults. Individuals will reside in a family-like setting with trained support staff.

The goal of the group home (individual supports), which is under the community care program, is to provide a safe and healthy place to live, to provide a learning environment, to integrate individuals into their community, to offer varied recreational opportunities, and to provide the support required for individuals to achieve their goals and to be life-long learners and employable citizens.
