DDS provides a variety of models of residential supports in attractive homes and apartments with staffing and supports designed for each individual.

Twenty Four Hour Medically Intensive Staffed Homes are carefully designed to serve individuals with significant medial fragility and physical support needs. Accessible space, daily nursing visits and specially trained staff allow individuals with complex needs to thrive in small, community homes.

Twenty Four Hour Staffed Homes and Apartments support as few as four and as many as six people in each household. Services are designed to promote personal responsibility, self-care, home and community safety skills and active, healthy lifestyles.

Supported Apartment Programs allow people living in their own apartments, usually two to four individuals per household to maintain their independent lifestyles. Staff perform a case management and advocacy role, supporting people to implement their own choices.
