A Family-Style Approach to Care for Adults with Developmental Disabilities
At HopeTree Family Services, we believe that everyone deserves the comfort and care of a supportive, family-like environment. Our Sponsored Residential Services program provides adults with developmental disabilities the opportunity to live in a home setting with trained caregivers who offer personalized, one-on-one support.
This program is designed to foster independence, enhance quality of life, and help individuals build meaningful connections within their community.
What Are Sponsored Residential Services?
Sponsored Residential Services pair adults with developmental disabilities with trained caregivers who open their homes to provide a safe, nurturing, and inclusive living environment. This model creates a family-style setting where individuals receive the care they need while enjoying the comforts of home.
Caregivers, known as sponsors, are extensively trained and supported by HopeTree Family Services to ensure they can meet the unique needs of each resident.
