Narrative

Residents are involved in designing their own plan through Individual Service Plans (ISPs) that match their personality, abilities and goals. Trained Residential Support Professionals manage the house and activities as individuals handle their banking, budgeting, and community life skills. We encourage family involvement in this process as well as participation from a team of specialists as needed including behavioral, nursing, recreation, speech, occupational and physical therapists. 

TILL offers a wide range of housing options for individuals with developmental disabilities, acquired brain injuries, mental health issues, and those on the autism spectrum. Whether it's a stand-alone home, condominium or staffed apartment, each TILL home is beautiful, comfortable and well maintained - a place that any one of us would be proud to call home. Common areas are designed to be open and inviting, while meeting the individual needs of each resident. This can mean roll-in showers, modified sinks and counters or overhead ceiling mounted track lifts. But it most certainly means a comfortable place to relax and connect with fellow residents and a place that allows you access in the home and the community in which they are located.

TILL 's residences are located throughout Massachusetts including Greater Boston, South Shore, North Shore, and Metro West areas. Referrals can be made from a variety of sources, including families, the individual, a public or private agency, school system, vocational services. Funding is arranged by the applicant through either public state agency funding or private funding. Intake information is obtained by TILL 's Clinical Director.
