Narrative

Residential options for adults with disabilities have grown  over the years. We are pleased to offer a range of supports to best meet the needs of the many people we serve. Our residential supports include:

  • Group homes that have around-the-clock support and care.
  • Supported living and outreach for people who live in their own homes with help from staff.
  • Shared Living, which matches people with disabilities to members of the community who share their homes. They give care much like a family member.
  • Adult Family Care, which provides a payment, resources, and nursing support to family caregivers who support their loved ones with special needs at home.
  • Family-centered programs, when existing homes and programs do not meet the needs or goals of an person or family. We will partner with families to find an answer.
