Community Group Homes
Merakey AVS provides Community Group Home Living where individuals have the experience of living with peers in the community. The number of people who live together in a home varies by the licensed capacity of the residence. All community group homes have a house manager and are supervised
24-hours/day. Individuals live in homes that allow them to experience a warm atmosphere similar to the one they would have at home. They also have the freedom to personalize their living space. Residents work towards their individualized goal plan by participating in daily household chores and assisting with meal preparation.
In addition to comprehensive residential services, individuals who live in community group homes also receive a wide range of auxiliary support services such as:
- Behavioral Supports
- Communication Training
- Community Activities
- Day Program Services
- Health Services
- Occupational Therapy
- Physical Therapy
- Respiratory Therapy
- Leisure Activities
- Psychological Services
- Recreational Programs
- Social Services
