Associate/Family Home Program
The Associate/Family Home Program provides a residential option for children and adults who have a developmental disability, who for a variety of reasons cannot or choose not to live with their natural family. The Associate/Family Home Program is designed to enable the individual who has a developmental disability to live as an integral part of a family in an alternative setting. The individual who has the developmental disability continues to spend time with their nature family; involvement is encouraged.
Objective:
To provide a nurturing home environment for a person with a developmental disability, as close to natural family living as possible, in which the Providers provide the necessary care, support and guidance unique to each persons needs.
