Our Homes at Group Homes of Forsyth

Our Homes

A Group Home is a home in every sense of the word. Here residents eat together, laugh together and even fight over whose turn it is to do the dishes.

"People who live here are MY FRIENDS." Elizabeth M.

The first thing you'll notice when you enter a Group Home is that it looks and feels like home. There are comfortable couches in the living room and a big table for everyone to gather around for meals. Every resident has his or her own bedroom that he or she decorates to reflect individual personality and interest.

All our homes have been designed to be accessible to people with physical disabilities, so that from the moment they approach the house, residents understand that their home has been designed for them.

"I want my own apartment someday. The staff will help me out." Mary Beth B.

Group homes are scattered around Forsyth and Stokes counties in residential middle class neighborhoods.
Each group home has a full-time Manager in Charge who functions as the "head of the house." When residents are involved in special activities, two other staff members are usually brought in to help out. Residents always have 24-hour staff assistance and supervision.

Our staff members are people who have a special vocation to work with the developmentally disabled. They attend frequent workshops, seminars and training programs to help them grow in their challenging field.

People in our Transitional Apartment Program enjoy the same individualized approach as in our group homes. Some may require weekly help with cooking or grocery shopping. Others may need help only once a month to pay bills. A few people go on to home ownership and complete independence.
