The individuals are involved with the cooking, cleaning and maintenance of their home. A vehicle for each home allows them to be active with shopping, community events, church and other activities they may choose.

General health is monitored by staff who also provide the support needed for medical, dental and psychiatric appointments. The program serves approximately 127 individuals.
