Developing and maintaining everyday living skills can help adults with developmental disabilities experience greater independence and confidence. At Peace of Mind Residential Care, we provide a supportive home-like environment where residents are encouraged to participate in everyday activities and make the most of their abilities.


Our approach focuses on encouragement and support while recognizing that every individual has different needs, strengths, and goals.

Supporting Everyday Independence

Everyday experiences can provide valuable opportunities to practice skills and make choices. We encourage residents to participate in appropriate activities that support independence and personal growth.


Support may involve opportunities related to:


  • Everyday household routines
  • Personal organization
  • Communication
  • Decision-making
  • Social interaction
  • Participation in community activities
  • Developing confidence
  • Maintaining personal routines


The goal is to encourage individuals to be as involved and independent as possible in their everyday lives.

Individualized Encouragement and Support

Everyone develops skills at their own pace. Our residential environment provides encouragement while respecting each individual's abilities and needs.



Rather than taking over everyday activities, our focus is on helping residents participate and experience opportunities for themselves whenever appropriate.

Connecting Independence With Community Life

Independent living skills can extend beyond the residence. Community participation provides opportunities for residents to practice communication, social interaction, decision-making, and other everyday skills in real-world situations.


Peace of Mind Residential Care encourages residents to become active members of their community and experience the benefits of social interaction and participation.

A Home-Like Environment for Growth

Our residential group home provides a comfortable alternative to an institutional setting. Residents can experience the familiarity of a home while receiving the support and encouragement they need.


We believe a supportive environment can help individuals build confidence, develop skills, and enjoy a greater quality of life.
