Residential Support Program for Disabled Adults

AHRC provides legal services for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities,
including assistance with Article 17A guardianship, advance directives and supplemental
needs trusts as well as any other legal matters they might encounter.
The Foundling
Inspired by a true tale told to the author by her grandmother, The Foundling is a
captivating historical fiction book set in a eugenics asylum. The narrative follows Mary
Engle, an eager young staff member at Nettleton State Village for Feebleminded Women
of Childbearing Age.
Although set over one century ago, it remains strikingly relevant today. The characters
demonstrate attitudes about women that have had such an influence in shaping our
modern society.
Readers will discover that this book tackles themes including love, loss, trust, loyalty and
power; while also touching upon issues related to racism, poverty abuse exploitation. A
must read for anyone interested in history or the human experience!
HeartShare
HeartShare provides people with disabilities the freedom to live the lives they want
through programs that support greater independence through education, health care,
employment, life skills training and case management services. Its programs aim to
promote greater autonomy through education, health care, employment opportunities and
life skills instruction as well as case management services.
Respite activities offer respite to families overwhelmed by caring for a loved one with
disabilities, while transition services assist individuals as they make the difficult leap from
early childhood to school age and then onto adulthood. Furthermore, OPWDD also
assists people with disabilities pay their housing costs through its housing subsidy
program.
The Hourly Waiver Respite Program
Respite care allows family caregivers the time they need to take care of other obligations,
travel or simply relax. Respite can be provided both at your home or a community site
and voucher programs may offer discounted respite services in their region.
Heritage Christian offers freestanding respite care by the hour or overnight for people
enrolled in OPWDD's Home and Community Based Services Waiver (HCBS). Guests can
socialize in an accessible home setting while staff certified to administer medications are
on site to care for guests. Weekend and full week programs are also available during
summer holidays and school breaks.
