respite Residential Services
Each respite home is centered around the uniqueness of the individuals that reside there. Our group home is operated with integrity. Each individual has their own bedroom decorated with the resident in mind. Each home is warm and inviting, and, a safe place you can truly call home.
It is the goal of every staff and supported individual to give people the opportunity to live as independently as possible. Our residential services are a learning opportunity for everyone involved. We are evolving from the “caretaker” mentality to the “mentor” mentality.
Our #1 priority is the long-term success of the adolescents that we serve. We want to see them succeed in life and pursue their dreams and goals. Our residential facilities are staffed with trained service providers who care about the youth in our homes. We ensure the homes are monitored and safe to provide a stable, healthy environment for kids who would otherwise have nowhere else to turn to.
All services are provided with a focus on individuals enhancing their capacities to become as self-reliant as possible. Specific services offered through Residential Support include:
Personal care
In-home skills training
Health and medications management
Housekeeping/laundry
Community involvement
Meal planning/preparation
Financial management
On call emergency support via cellular phones and/or pagers
Transportation, when indicated
These services are provided 365 days a year with specific support schedules developed based on each individual's assessed needs. All services provided by our residential staff focus on our mission "working toward a community where each belong." Staff work with individuals to discover their interests and desires regarding community activities and then assist in facilitating engagement in these activities.
