Residential Services
|

Our Residential
program currently provides
supports to 63 individuals in eight group homes and 14
apartments. We only accept referrals from the Division of
Developmental Disabilities. Please see our
Family Support Department for
information on getting into services. Our focus is on teaching
people to be as independent as possible in their homes and to be
role models in social situations. Our trained staff also help
people with their medical needs and if necessary with their
money management.
Staff training consists of two weeks of classroom training upon
entry to the field and 30 hours throughout the year. Training in
the field is an on-going process as we travel with people
through the course of their life. The rudiments of our staff
skills we believe are patience, kindness and the ability to
listen.
Beyond the basics of maintaining a home we work with people to
achieve their dreams. As such we encourage recreational and
social activities to broaden the scope of a person's life. We
work with individuals and their families and friends to find a
balance point between safety and independence.
We are part of the Hunterdon County community and as such are
always looking for new friends. We invite the community to get
to know at least one of wonderful residents or to let us know
what we can do for you. Friends are always welcome!
