Respite Services

We offer two models of respite services. Our first model is “Take a Break”, with 4-6 hours of engaging activities where individuals can be dropped off at a designated site.  We will also be offering overnight experiences at our Respite apartment where individuals will be socially engaged while gaining skills on how to live independently.

Residential Housing Models

We operate ten traditional 24-hour staffed homes and two homes with less than 24-hour. Non- traditional housing models include new initiatives with private investment community housing.

Technology First

We are implementing assistive technology where ever possible to help those we support develop even greater  sense of independence at home, at work, and in their communities.
