We are a Medicaid Waiver Provider, meaning that we accept federal and state funds designed to help people live independently in the community as payment for our services. Currently, we are only accepting the Intellectual Disability (ID) waiver. For more information on Virginia's requirements, visit the Virginia Department of Behavioral Health and Services.

We provide the same services as a group home, except we provide them in the person's own home or apartment. This gives our clients independence, freedom, and the privacy they want, without compromising their safety.

It seems like it would be, but in fact, it's considerably less expensive. Part of the reason we're able to do what we do is that every person we support has his or her name on the lease, which entitles him or her to benefits (such as section eight housing vouchers, fuel subsidies, and food stamps) that are not available to those living in a group home.

Besides, group homes are staffed to meet the highest levels of need, even though those needs may vary considerably among a group, as well as throughout the day. Here we provide as much or as little support as each need, and only when they need or want it.
