Salim Homes Residential Services, LLC. specializes in providing services for adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Our focus is on providing each individual a community support system that facilitates and inspires their growth and development, along with fostering their sense of independence. We are able to do this by working with families that want to be Family Model Providers and are willing to open up their homes to individuals we serve.

The simple act of caring is heroic. It is not an easy task by any means to be a caretaker, especially to someone with intellectual, developmental, and/or physical disabilities. Sometimes this career can be thankless, however, the differences you make for that person, whether small or large, can play a huge part in their life.
