Residential Services

We believe quality of life starts at home. That’s why we offer flexible, residential services for people with disabilities. We have a variety of housing options that serve those whose needs range from assistance for a couple hours a week to full 24/7 assistance.

 

Group Home Program Since 1989, we’ve operated 11 group homes licensed by the Indiana State Department of Health. Each of our homes serves 4-8 adults who live in a comfortable, personalized home. Our homes are located in neighborhoods throughout northwest Marion and Hamilton counties. Those who live with us are valued, integrated members of their communities.

Each individual is supported by a highly qualified team. Each home has a dedicated nurse consultant, dietitian, pharmacist, behavior consultant, a team leader and highly trained direct care staff who all work together to provide holistic care, personalized to do what is the absolute best to ensure the physical and emotional well-being of each resident.

 

Supported Living Program Our Supported Living Program began in 1993 and is designed to support those who need assistance several hours a day or up to around the clock assistance. We can offer support in the private home or apartment of each individual, or in one of the wheelchair-accessible homes owned by New Hope.
