Group Homes For Individuals With Intellectual & Developmental Disabilities
Penn Residential Inc. specializes in residential group homes for individuals with disabilities, offering comprehensive support and residential living services for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Our group homes provide safe, nurturing environments where clients can flourish within their local communities, receiving tailored support to foster independence and well-being.
Support Services
Our direct support professionals (DSPs) are dedicated to providing essential, individualized assistance that empowers residents in all aspects of daily life. With a compassionate and person-centered approach, our DSPs work closely with each child, adolescent, and adult in our care to understand their unique needs, strengths, and goals. Whether assisting with daily routines, encouraging personal hygiene, or guiding residents through household tasks, our team ensures that each individual receives the care and support they need to thrive within a comfortable and secure home environment.
A key focus of our DSPs is to help residents develop and strengthen socialization skills, enabling them to form meaningful connections and navigate social situations with confidence. By fostering these skills, DSPs help residents build relationships within the home and community, enhancing their sense of belonging and self-worth. Tailored to each individual’s abilities, our socialization support encourages residents to express themselves, engage in social activities, and enjoy fulfilling interactions with others in a safe, supportive setting.
Through ongoing encouragement and positive reinforcement, our DSPs help residents develop essential life skills, promoting independence and self-reliance. Our team celebrates each milestone, big or small, recognizing the progress residents make as they overcome challenges. By providing this steady, empowering guidance, we aim to instill a sense of autonomy and self-assurance, allowing residents to approach each day with confidence and resilience.
The support services provided in our residential group homes encompass various aspects of daily living, including personal care, medication management, meal planning and preparation, social and recreational activities, skills development, health monitoring, emotional support, and community integration.
Nursing Services
Penn Residential’s team of dedicated nurses, led by our Director of Medical Services, delivers exceptional care to our supported individuals by providing thorough health assessments and monitoring, skilled medication management, prompt identification and treatment of health issues, development of personalized care plans, and education on health-related matters for both residents and staff. This team brings specialized medical knowledge and skills that contribute significantly to the comprehensive care of our residents with intellectual and developmental disabilities.
By integrating professional nursing care into our support system of group homes, we ensure that residents receive holistic attention to their physical and mental health needs, promoting their overall wellness and enabling them to lead more fulfilling lives within their communities.
