A Community for Growth: Benefits of Group Homes for Adults with Disabilities

Our Adult Family Homes serve individuals with intellectual or developmental disabilities. Here, they are able to enjoy living independently, but don’t have to do it alone. Proper care is available around-the-clock, to include coordinating appointments, scheduling transportation, helping them take the appropriate medication, and other personal needs. Our clients also have the pleasure of living alongside three peers, so they have built-in support from their circle of friends!

Covey clients aren’t the only ones benefiting from these homes. Families learn how to “let go” of their loved one and support their independence. Once a family member is no longer a full-time caregiver, they have an opportunity to recharge and pursue new experiences with peace of mind that their loved one is in great care.

Adult Family Homes allow the community around us to foster an appreciation for differences. While they appear similar to any other house in the neighborhood, they are fitted with reasonable accommodations that may include wheelchair-accessible entrances, wider doorways, raised electrical outlets, and lower kitchen surfaces. AFHs help the community around them cultivate a more inclusive mindset and better understand the talents and gifts our clients have to offer.
