For adults with developmental disabilities.

Supported Living Services. Individually tailored planning ensures that adults with developmental disabilities receive the services and supports they need make their own choices about where they live in their community and where they work. The goal of this program is enhancing the quality of life through maintaining as much independence and self-determination as is possible.

Comprehensive Services. An increased level of support and care is available for those adults with developmental and physical disabilities who require supervised assistance with everyday activities, ranging from personal care to health and safety management and daily activities. We offer 24 hour services in a variety of settings.

    Group Residential Services and Supports. These services are designed to meet the unique needs of those individuals who require full support for safety, physical or medical reasons. Support for all daily living needs is provided around the clock in warm friendly homes.

Individuals live in either a Host Home setting or their own community apartment or home and are supported to enjoy typical community living. Health and safety are paramount to services provided.
