With the guidance of dedicated and qualified staff, residents live in an environment that is both supportive and challenging, enabling them to reach their highest potential. Careful attention is given to each individual's needs for where and with whom they live. Homes are designed with bedrooms for each resident as well as common areas for entertaining and recreational activities. Apartments are located in areas that provide easy access to the community. Each resident's program is tailored to meet his or her needs, interests and abilities.
Mealtimes build skills in self-feeding, cooking and social awareness.
Community activities strengthen social interaction capabilities. Just as important, however, the staff provide a safe and comfortable environment that makes each group residence a home for its family of residents. For people with more developed skills, the independent living program provides regular, but not live-in assistance, including helping to schedule and keep appointments, checking on health and nutritional issues and providing companionship. As with group home residents, people living in supported apartments are provided with every opportunity to learn, grow and be a part of their community.
