Group Homes
Home of Hope Group Homes provide residential living in a group setting of 6 to 10 people with developmental disabilities. The group home environment is ideal for an individual who is very independent, but requires some amount of assistance and support to meet their daily needs. Group Home residents have qualified for funding through the DDS (Developmental Disabilities Services) division of DHS (Department of Human Services).
Overview of Program Services
All group homes at Home of Hope are supported by 24-hour staff supervision and an on-call system for emergency situations. Each home provides a variety of services to accommodate the individuals’ needs and interests. Usually individuals have a job or day program during the work week. Our staff help individuals reach a higher level of independence, self-sufficiency and opportunities for community involvement by participating in a wide variety of activities depending on their interests. This could include taking part in a community education class, learning how to cook a meal, attending a baseball game or concert, or going to the gym to exercise.
