This is a residential home and a very relaxed environment. Our goal is to create a home space where the clients and staff feel welcome.
Clients and role:
These clients are funny, love to play video games, board games, Magic, would absolutely enjoy a day of arts of crafts, taking their R.C. cars out to the park, they love dogs, bike riding, playing tennis…basically, would you have a good time hanging out with them all day?

Company Culture:
We foster an environment of fun and education and truly focus on communication. This has resulted in our ability to be proactive with our residents in a way that has maintained very few behaviors in over 5 years. We work together to make sure that all staff knows what has happened in the shift prior and have meetings to stay on top of any concerns.
We encourage our staff to be creative and assist with the activity planning so that all are involved. At the end of the day, this is their home and we want it to feel like home to them - our residents are treated like "normal dudes" and this is how we're able to keep them full of joy.
