Residential Programs

Parents' Foundation offers three unique programs, providing a comprehensive, one-stop shop for mental health support. We are dedicated to supporting residents through both transitional and long-term care, ensuring each individual receives the care they need at every stage of their journey.
Our Approach:

No Time Limits, Only Goals: Unlike other programs that set strict timelines, we focus on personalized goals tailored to each resident’s needs. Our approach ensures that transitions happen at a pace that allows for proper growth, stability, and readiness.
Transitional Support: Whether moving from the group home to supervised apartment program or transitioning into the independent care community, we provide ongoing support through every step of the process.
Long-Term Care: For those who need more extended assistance, our programs offer long-term support designed to ensure continued progress in both mental health and life skills.

At Parents' Foundation, our goal is to empower each resident, enabling them to thrive at their own pace, with a strong foundation of care and guidance that evolves with their needs.

Accommodations:

Residential Living Center (Group Home)

Our Residential Living Center, licensed by the State of Connecticut as a Mental Health Living Center, provides a supportive and structured group living environment. With single and double bedrooms and shared baths, the Group Home accommodates up to 15 residents, offering a safe space where individuals can focus on their mental health journey with compassionate care.

Supervised Apartment Program (SAP)

The Supervised Apartment Program features diverse living options, including studio, two-bedroom, and three-bedroom apartments with full kitchens and baths. Residents can choose to cook their own meals or join others for a community dining experience. This program blends independence with supervision, nurturing personal growth within a supportive framework.

Independent Care (Off-Broadway)

The Independent Care Program, also known as Off-Broadway, supports residents as they transition into the broader community. Residents live in their own selected apartments, often in the beautiful buildings along Howe Street, while benefiting from a reliable safety net of support services. This program empowers individuals to embrace independent living at their own pace.
