Intensive Community Home:

This home serves adults who may be challenged as the result of a lack of ability in the area of self-help skills and have developed behaviors as a means of coping.

More intensive training is provided and higher staff ratios exist. The goal is to prepare the individuals to move to a less restrictive residential environment.

A.W.A.R.E. adult group homes are capable of serving eight adults. Training is provided in independent living skills such as home safety, cooking, housekeeping, leisure and recreational skills and money management.

The goal is to enable individuals to live more independently within this supervised environment.

Supported Living/Community Supports:

Supported living provides a specialized array of services and supports that promotes individual choices, independence and safety in integrated environments in the community.

A.W.A.R.E. supported employment services provide job placement for individuals in the community. Our service assists persons with disabilities who require ongoing support on and/or off the job in order to choose, obtain and retain paid employment in integrated settings.

Job training and “follow along” services are provided. Support and assistance to employers is a key element.
