Residential Services
The Residential Services team provides training and support while collaborating with individuals with developmental disabilities who wish to live independently in the community.
The team assists participants in finding homes and developing new housing options. Our goal is to equip participants with the knowledge, skills, and confidence they need to live in a comfortable, safe, supportive environment.
Independent Living Services
Our Independent Living Services (ILS) staff partner with adults with developmental disabilities in their desire to live independently and be an active part of their local community.
Regardless of age, education, or career level, participants receive support individually and in groups to develop and expand their abilities, explore new horizons, and enhance their personal growth.
Among the services provided are support with paying rent and bills, cooking healthy meals, using public transportation, and accessing health care.
Other services include support to:
- Pay rent and bills
- Budget and shop for groceries
- Refill prescriptions and monitor medications
- Prepare healthy meals
- Manage home cleaning and laundry
- Purchase shoes and clothing
- Make and keep doctor appointments
- Resolve roommate or tenant issues
