A psychologist, behavioral specialist and registered nurse address any medical or behavioral needs that arise. Our homes provide quality living to our individuals through 24-hour staffing where activities of daily living are taught by qualified staff. Each residence serves varying gender groups which can include all men, all women or a mixture of both genders, accommodating ambulatory and non-ambulatory individuals. All residences provide individuals with opportunities for advancement towards independence, individualization, productivity and integration into their respective communities.
