“Supporting a community for unique adults with special needs.”

 

As a group of parents to amazing special needs individuals, we are learning about the deficiencies in long-term options for those not on a neurotypical life path. The ultimate goal of any parenting journey is to instill basic skills, confidence, happiness, and the opportunity for success and independence for our children. While we support and nourish those we care for through childhood and adolescence, many parents are left wondering what happens later. In an attempt to bridge the gap between special needs adults living their lives under the roof of a family caregiver or choosing the typical institutional option, our organization is on a mission to create something new. 

 

This vision includes but is not limited to, establishing a community of different housing options - each suited to individual residents' needs and desires. In a space where safety is of the utmost importance, there will be support staff onsite 24/7 along with security measures on multiple levels. Phase One will include our Community Center through which our foundation is establishing a day program for adults with disabilities. From therapeutic opportunities to life skills education, a community work outreach program and of course the ever-vital social interaction - the goal of the day program is to offer families a safe place for their adult with special needs to go during the day. Phase Two will establish our residential section. Individual apartments, group homes and tiny homes will be centered around the activities center, furthering the residents’ bond with the community, sense of belonging, and opportunity to be socially active. The ultimate goal of our organization is to create a space where each individual has every support system in place required to lead a healthy and happy life, nurtured by family and friends.
