Narrative

Devereux offers residential and placement services for adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities to help them lead more independent and fulfilling lives. We provide safe, comfortable and supportive home environments to ensure adults have access to services that are appropriate to their cognitive, emotional and social development.

Each adult’s strengths and goals are incorporated into an individualized care plan that promotes independence.

We support people over the age of 22 with diagnoses including:

• Intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD)
• Autism spectrum disorders
• Acquired or traumatic brain injuries
• Mental health challenges, trauma or attachment-related concerns

Residential services offer congregate living options for adults in the community. We offer 24-hour assistance from highly trained staff. This supportive home setting promotes well-being. Programming is designed to strengthen decision-making skills in community-based settings.

Devereux’s adult services emphasize long-term stability for people while they increase their independence.

The following principles are incorporated into all of our programs:

• Person-centered: All services are delivered with a person-centered approach to ensure each person's needs, interests and levels of ability are met.
• Family-focused: We encourage families to participate in the development and delivery of services. This includes quality improvement, program design and evaluation.
• Collaborative: We work closely with community organizations to provide opportunities to maximize each person’s potential.
• Community-focused: Our services are delivered in community, home and employment settings.
• Skill-building: We emphasize skill-building to help people achieve greater independence and success across all settings.
• Self-determination: We encourage people to participate in processes and decisions that impact their lives.
