IRA, Individual Residential Alternative Group Homes

IRA Group Homes provide an intensely supervised environment where the needs of the consumers are met 24 hours a day. The goal of the program is to assist the individuals in their daily living and to help them live as independently as possible. Consumers living in Yedei Chesed group homes attend schools, work in local businesses and are totally integrated into communal life.

“Whenever I visit my son at the group home he always looks happy! The staff are very kind and really care about each one of the boys.”

ISS Supportive Apartments

ISS Apartments allow high functioning adults with developmental disabilities, the opportunity to live independently with minimal support services. Staff work with the individuals on building their daily living skills in areas such as cooking, cleaning, maintaining a home, money management, independent travel skills, food purchasing etc. The goal of supportive housing is to help residents develop daily living skills and the ability to live on their own.

“Since my son has joined the ISS apartment, he has grown tremendously in all areas! He is slowly becoming more and more independent.”

Family Care Provider Homes

A baby born with a developmental disability requires a special home environment; a home that offers the support and opportunities that child needs to reach his or her fullest potential as a member of the community. For families that find it difficult meeting their child’s exceptional needs, Yedei Chesed finds a safe and comfortable home where their child will be cared for appropriately. Our Family Care parents are trained and well equipped to cater to the unique requirements of children with developmental disabilities.

“When I was going through difficult times and couldn’t keep my daughter with disabilities at home, Yedei Chesed found an appropriate home for her. It made me feel good to know that my daughter was being cared for by capable hands and was getting the warmth and attention she needs.”
