Designed to help people live as independently as possible, in a community setting through person-centered supports and services, we offer residences that range in size and with varying levels of support for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities of all ages. Our agency embraces the concept of supported routines; participating in meaningful activities and developing the necessary skills to achieve a higher level of independence and self-sufficiency.
