Dreams With Wings offers a variety of services for adults.
The men and women at Dreams With Wings have all the same hopes and dreams as the rest of us! They want to live, work and play in their community. Services offered are tailored to meet the individual needs of each person.
Residential Supports
Dreams With Wings supports individuals through two different residential options:
Staffed Residences
We currently have 11 staffed residences; homes are located in a local neighborhood and are supported by a staff member around the clock. Generally, three adults with similar interests live together in one house and receive 24-hour support. Housemates have their own bedroom and share the rest of the living space.
​​
​Supported Apartments
Currently, we have 3 apartment buildings but also support clients in their own personal apartments. Support for these individuals is tailored to meet specific needs such as paying bills, grocery shopping, housekeeping, laundry, etc. Twenty-four-hour support is not considered necessary for these individuals.
