In an effort to reduce the stress of entering a group living environment and to maximize normalization, we strive for a home-like environment that approximates most resident's normal living environments. While our program provides varying degrees of structure necessary to help people learn to better order and organize the tasks associated with day-to-day life; we also strive to keep each of our programs non-institutional in character and flexible enough to be able to respond to the individual needs of each person.
Available services include, but are not limited to Positive Behavior Support, Service Coordination, Care Coordination, Therapeutic Consultant Services, Comprehensive Community Support Program, Transportation, Pharmacological Management, Day Habilitation, Residential Habilitation, Psychiatric Services, Crisis Services and Supportive Counseling. Skill training is available, but not limited to, the following areas:

All residences are staffed 24 hours a day. Staff consists of Residential Instructors and Assistive Medication Administration Personnel (AMAP) Staff who are under the direct supervision of a Registered Nurse. The number of staff assigned to each group home is determined by the levels of supervision required for residents in each site. Additional staff may be accessed during times of increased supervision needs. A RN as well as Residential Services Supervisory Staff are on call to assist with after hours emergencies.
