Residential Services

Our homes

We provide a wide array of services to meet the needs of those we serve today and those well into the future.

Turning 22/Behavioral Support Homes

Turning 22 (T22) residential homes serve young adults on the Autism Spectrum and those with other behavioral challenges. Structured activity planning, skill development, and other activities that support individuals to become more independent are provided daily with significant support from behavioral health clinicians.

Acquired Brain Injury (ABI) Homes

Acquired Brain Injury (ABI) homes provide intensive rehabilitation support to individuals who have experienced a brain injury. Given the complexity of a brain injury, these specialty homes work closely with nursing and behavioral health to address the whole health and well-being of the individual.

Medical Model Homes

Medical Model Homes support individuals with complex medical needs that can only be provided under the supervision of a skilled or licensed medical professional. Significant skilled nursing support is provided which may include tracheostomy care and management, physical therapy, wound care, intravenous injections, catheter care, and more.

I/DD (Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities)

For adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities, our residents are encouraged, when possible, to interact with their peers, form relationships, develop social skills, share interests, and become part of their community by continually increasing their independence.
