Group Homes (CBRF & AFH)

Serious & Persistent Mental Illness Homes (MI):

We provide comprehensive, community-based residential treatment to adult men and women with severe and persistent mental illness, who may also carry a diagnosis of mild intellectual disability, substance use and/or abuse, and traumatic stress, all of which have seriously impaired their quality of life for extended periods of time.  We provide 24 hour staff to support, assist and teach consumers basic daily living skills. 

Intellectually & Developmentally Disabled (IDD) Homes:

We provide comprehensive, community-based residential treatment to adult men and women with intellectual and developmental disabilities.  Our focus is to assist these individuals who have historically experienced significant challenges with adaptive functioning and behavioral controls.  The objective is to provide a living environment which emphasizes consistency, daily repetition, structured learning, active participation in daily living skills, alleviation of maladaptive behaviors and positive role modeling. 

Serious and Persistent Mental Illness Respite Home:

Our respite home serves individuals with serious and persistent mental illness as an alternative to psychiatric inpatient hospitalization that offers a continuum of community-based services and intervention and support to individuals in crisis.  Our aim is to work with consumers in crisis by helping them stabilize their behaviors so that a return to a less restrictive environment is possible.  The respite home offers normalcy inside of an intensive, therapeutic environment that helps to support individuals experiencing pyshological crisis on an acute basis. 

Intellectually and Developmentally Disabled Crisis Respite Home:

Our respite homes for individuals with Intellectual and Developental Disabilities serve adult consumers who are mildly to moderately intellectually or cognitively disabled and are in urgent need of temporary placement due to a disruption in their lives or an acute crisis.  The respite home provides the opportunity for these consumers to receive prompt services while still remaining in the community and avoiding hospitalization.  Our consumers can remain engaged in their normal daily activities while they remain at the respite home.  The respite home also offers a safe transition for those individuals coming from the hospital to the community. 

Our goal...

Our goal is to design services to enhance and teach each individual entrusted to our care, the skills needed to achieve greater independence.

Funding...

Funding opportunities can be provided through Milwaukee County Department of Family Care, Community Care, Milwaukee County SAIL, Milwaukee COunty Disabilities Services Division, IRIS, Department of Corrections, Wraparound Milwaukee, Private Insurance and Private Pay.
