Residential services are offered from any of our 24 group homes which are located in the metropolitan Phoenix area. The physical environments are barrier-free and many are designed to accommodate the needs of those with physical challenges. Each home accommodates 3 to 6 individuals and ranges in size from 3 to 6 bedrooms. Many have pools, some have spas, and all have vehicles designed to meet the needs of the residents. These homes provide individualized service and supports aimed at maximizing each resident's independence. Interdisciplinary teams develop and implement annual program plans for each resident. The efforts to increase independence, to improve social interactions, as well as monitor complex medical needs are a continual responsibility. All sites are licensed by the Arizona Department of Health Services and the program is monitored by the Department of Economic Security, Division of Developmental Disabilities. This program has held a high ranking from both of these monitoring bodies. The majority of funding is from DES/DDD and various Native American tribes.
