Group Homes for Children
Supporting Greater Independence within Our Communities
Ädelbrook’s Therapeutic Group Homes (TGH) offer safe and nurturing environments where youth and young adults with developmental disabilities can heal, grow, and build the skills they need for independence. With the support of our highly trained staff, residents receive intensive therapeutic services, guidance, and opportunities to connect with their communities. We collaborate closely with families, schools, and other supporters to create a wraparound approach that encourages lasting success. Our philosophy of connection versus correction empowers every individual to discover their personal strengths, build confidence, and develop the tools they need to thrive in the next stage of life.
Life in Our Homes
Small, Supportive Home Settings: Ädelbrook's Therapeutic Group Homes supports up to four individuals, ages 14-21, with a staff-to-resident ratio that allows for thoughtful individualized care plans to be implemented. Our homes are designed to maximize personal growth and independence while gradually reducing the need for staff support.
Community Engagement: The TGH program emphasizes the importance of community involvement for our residents. We offer inclusive, engaging activities that prepare residents to transition to independence. Community engagement activities include:
- Agency-wide dances and social events
- Holiday celebrations
- Outings to local fairs and festivals
- Visits to museums and cultural institutions
- Participation in sports and arts programs
By participating in these events, individuals develop lasting relationships with their peers and gain valuable connections to their communities.
