Care for disabled children, consist of 2 homes, staffed 24 hours a day/7 days a week, with various shifts available. This type of group care provides a residential setting for disabled children that require high levels of structure and routine, often more than intimate family-based homes can provide. We strive to teach our kids independence skills to the limits of their individual abilities, to be the most independent that they can be. Children can also get additional therapies within the home setting such as - Occupational Therapy, Physical Therapy, Speech-Language, and behavioral therapy if appropriate.
We currently have eight Personal Care Alternatives (PCA) adult group homes, six for women, and two for men. Our PCA's provide similar structure and support as our children's homes.
All of our residential settings are staffed with an experienced team that is familiar with the Disabled population. We provide for all daily needs, activities, and school/day programs each week.
Our caregivers are the key to the success of the individuals we serve. Your services make a difference in the developmentally delayed individual's life, their family's and our community. You owe it to yourself to come talk to us and see what you've been missing.
