Rising Ground’s Community Residences are homes for individuals with intellectual and/or developmental disabilities. Each resident is safe and supported as they bond with others in their home and acquire the skills that will allow them the greatest level of independence. With five or six people living in each home, it’s a close family atmosphere. Residents also have opportunities to engage with the larger community.
Every individual in our residential program develops a life plan that reflects what is important to them, who is important to them, as well as their dreams and goals and the accomplishments that make them proud. This plan helps our staff get to know each person as an individual and guides the services we provide to help the people we serve achieve their personal goals and to become as independent as possible. Services include 24-hour support, assistance with household chores, life-skills and transportation training, clinical support, and recreational activities.
Our residences are licensed by the Office for People With Developmental Disabilities (OPWDD).
