Our philosophy is based on our belief that everyone, irrespective of race, age, sex, sexual orientation, religion, and level of disability, deserves a chance to make a difference. We believe that every individual should have the opportunity to live as independently as possible, to have a community, and the opportunity to develop positive relationships with others living in the community. Our goal in providing services is to make each person we serve feel that this is their home. We go above and beyond meeting our residents' health, safety, and welfare needs; we look to find the individual desires that will make each person feel comfort, security, and happiness in their home. The individual's cultural background is an integral part of obtaining the level of service we strive to achieve.

This means not only understanding the person's customs and values, but finding opportunities for them to practice, celebrate, communicate, or participate in those customs and values. Over the years, we have served individuals from various cultures and currently hire staff from a wide range of cultural backgrounds. We will work with the person, the community, and our team to enhance this aspect of their lives. We utilize behavior programs that emphasize positive reinforcement of adaptive behaviors. We aim to teach and maintain valuable skills that allow individuals to maximize their independence in the home and the community.

Being a small, family-run business allows us to have more direct contact with the people we serve and the staff people who work with us. We also contract with Star Services to provide oversight of our 245D Licenses. We will utilize behavior programs that emphasize positive reinforcement of positive behaviors through Positive Behavior Support Plans. We aim to teach and maintain valuable skills that enable those we serve to maximize their independence in the home and the community. Through clearly defined programs, thorough staff training, and frequent oversight by our Group Home Supervisors and Designated Manager, we can help individuals build adaptive skills and work to eliminate maladaptive behaviors over time.
