Developmental Disability Programs in Richmond, VA

It depends on the person's goals, daily routine, and the level of support they need. Someone who enjoys structure and group activities close to home often thrives in Adult Day Support, while someone who wants to be out in the community every day may prefer Community Engagement. For housing, options range from Supported Living in your own apartment to full-time care in one of our Group Homes. During your tour and initial assessment, our team walks you through each option in detail so you leave with a program that actually fits never a one-size-fits-all recommendation.

Adult Day Support runs Monday through Friday, 7:00 AM to 4:00 PM, and centers on group activities, skill-building, and outings based out of our Richmond center. Community Engagement runs 7 days a week, 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM, and is built around getting out into the community every day volunteering, local events, and real-world experiences. Many members benefit from a mix of both; our team can help you decide during your tour.

Supported Living is for members who want their own apartment alone or with a roommate with our staff coming to them for medication management, transportation, groceries, and daily support, while they keep their independence and routine. Group Home Services provide 24/7 on-site care in a structured, supportive home for those who need more consistent, round-the-clock support. If you're not sure which fits, we also offer individualized help finding the right housing arrangement, including guidance on tenant rights and community resources.

No scheduling a tour is always the first step, and no referral is required to visit us or ask questions. Once you've toured our Richmond center and seen which program fits best, your Support Coordinator can send a formal referral and our team will help you with the paperwork from there.
