In 1979, the first three homes opened in response to the deinstitutionalization of individuals living in large state-run institutions. Those homes were built in Portage with the purpose to provide residents with a more “home-like, community-based setting.”

We have never looked back
We are proud to be an exceptional residential option for individuals with mental retardation and developmental disabilities. Our ability to provide high quality care and service to individuals is due in part to the dedicated staff, families, community, civic groups, and businesses, as well as the Wood County Board of Developmental Disabilities. Presently we serve over 150 individuals in nearly 30 community settings throughout Wood County.
