Midland Residential
Group Homes and Apartments for Adults Living with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities
Midland Residential was established in 1999 with the opening of our first five-person group home. Since then, our residential program has grown and evolved to continuously meet the individualized needs of our adult population; aged 21 years and older. We strive to maintain this high-quality service, offered to individuals on either the Community Care Program or Supports Program Waivers through the Division of Developmental Disabilities. We support our adult residents in all aspects of their lives and provide training in independent living skills to promote independence. Each resident under our care has a New Jersey Individual Service Plan (NJISP).
In addition to group home living, we offer apartment life. Apartments can be licensed or unlicensed, depending on our residents need. Midland complies with the New Jersey Department of Human Services, Office of Licensing regulations located at N.J.A.C. 10:44A. On-site support services are provided in our homes and apartments; customizable and up to 24 hours daily, 365 days a year.”
Daily Life
All of the activities that take place in the typical family home take place in our Midland homes—individual residents have responsibility for their own rooms with staff support and are assigned chores in the home. Training in activities of daily living (ADL) is provided, as needed. Appropriate medical care, transportation and supportive counseling are included in the services provided to residents.
In addition to providing a safe place to live, we also offer a dynamic recreation program to ensure community integration and an enhanced quality of life. Recreational opportunities include frequent visits to the community, attending amateur and professional sporting events, plays, other performances and musical presentations. We provide residents with opportunities for individual recreational outings, depending on their interests and preferences. Regular events and gatherings provide the residents and their families, guardians and friends with opportunities to network and expand their social horizons.
