Our Services
Care built around each individual's plan.
We support adults with developmental disabilities through the Florida APD Medicaid Waiver — from full-time residential care to individualized supports that meet each person exactly where they are.
What We Provide
A full range of APD Waiver supports
Residential Habilitation
24-hour supervised care in our licensed group home, including room and board, supervision, and support with daily living in a true home setting.
Respite Care
Short-term, temporary relief care so families and primary caregivers can rest, travel, or handle life's demands with peace of mind.
Companion Services
Friendly, non-medical support: supervision, conversation, and shared activities that ease isolation and support wellbeing.
Direct Support Professional (DSP) Services
Trained DSP staff provide hands-on assistance with activities of daily living, personal care, and day-to-day routines — one person at a time.
Life Skills Development
Practical training in independent living, budgeting basics, household tasks, and self-advocacy.
Medication Assistance & Monitoring
Careful, consistent support to help residents stay on track with prescribed medication routines.
Community Integration
Supported outings, social activities, and transportation that connect residents to the wider community.
Meal Preparation & Nutrition Support
Home-cooked meals and nutrition support tailored to each resident's needs.
Transportation
Reliable transportation to approved medical appointments, therapies, and community activities.
